TASMAD Commands

AU  AUto          : Put motors in auto mode, positions are updated.
AS  ASsign        : Assign Power Supplies.
CK  ChecK         : Checks syntax of jobfile.
CL  CLear         : Unfixes one or more motors or power supplies.
CO  COunt         : Counts for given preset TIme or MoNitor.
DO  DO            : Runs a jobfile without testing the syntax first.
DR  DRive         : Changes a variable and drives spectrometer to
			its new position.
EX  EXit          : Exit.
FI  FIx           : Fixes a given motor or power supply, FIx without
			argument will give a list of fixed motors and
			power supplies.

			spectrometer is only driven to the maximum.
FZ  FindZero      : Scans a simple variable, finds maximum, drives to 
			maximum and performs a SetZero with the given
			value.

			LP ListPower       Power supply values.
LO  LOg           : Controls terminal logging.
MT  MTe           : Move temperature to new value.
OF  OFf           : Turns flipper off.
ON  ON            : Turns flipper on.
OU  OUtput        : Defines output variables.
PA  Pol.An.       : Defines a polarization analysis file (default
			file ext'n is .PAL).

SC  SCan          : Scans a variable with given or previously
			defined increment, number of points and
			time interval or monitor count.

SF  ScanFast      : Scans a variable quickly.
ST  STatus        : Gives status of one or more motors.
SW  SWitch        : Sets some switches.
SZ  SetZero       : Set zero in such a way that value as given
			is defined as actual position of variable
			(works only for simple variables, i.e.
			variables that have a zero).
WA  WAit          : Wait for temperature to be within range
			(target_temp-DTL) to (target_temp+DTU)
			or time-out of TO minutes.
