PA (Position Absolute)
[Motion]
DESCRIPTION:
The PA command will set the absolute destination of the next move. The position is referenced to absolute
zero. If a ? is used, then the current destination (current commanded position if not moving, destination if
in a move) is returned. For each single move, the largest position move possible is +/- 2147483647. Units
are in quadrature counts.
ARGUMENTS: PA x, y, z, w or PAX=x or PA a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h where
x, y z, w, or a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h are signed integers
