"? STP" Command

The "? STP" command reads a given step in the Series 942 program space (24
steps total).

The syntax for this command is:
? STP

The command will return the following information:
Data.2 Data.3 ... Data.n

Table 7 below shows how to interpret the response syntax. Note that each
argument is an ASCII decimal number representing a specific value for each
parameter listed in the table.

A response for Step# 8 would be:
<8> <1> <235> <1> <20> <15>
<1> <0>

This tells you that Step# 8 is a Set Point step, SP is 235°. Step time is 1:20:15,
Ent1 is ON and Ent2 is OFF.
