Reading Values via AxisLink

Each motion controller on AxisLink can request the current value of a
user variable, data parameter, or data bit from another motion controller
on the link using the Read Remote Value block. GML Commander stores
the returned value in a user variable in the controller that executed the
Read Remote Value block. Usually, values are returned in 3 to 5
milliseconds, but can take as long as 20 milliseconds. Both motion
controllers must have the AxisLink option both installed and enabled and
be connected to the same AxisLink cable.
