Without any additional characters this is the same as [[commands:rdsbyte|RDSBYTE]], except the data is returned in ASCII decimal format. 

Beginning with Tiger v2.8+ and MS2000 v9.2e a qualifier can be added to the axis name to change the information reported. \\

With ''?'', a busy or not busy character is returned for that axis (''N'' or ''B'', just as in ''STATUS'').  \\
With ''-'', the left status character displayed on MS-2000 LCD of the axis is returned, including ''U'' or ''L'' for upper and lower limits, ''f'' or ''s'' for fast or slow joystick mode just selected, ''D'' for motor disabled, or a space for no event to report.  \\
With ''+'', the right status character displayed on MS-2000 LCD is returned (with some additions), including ''M'' for move, ''B'' for commanded move (e.g. [[commands:home|HOME]]), ''K'' for servo lock, ''S'' for spin move, ''A'' for single axis move, ''T'' for multi-axis move, ''P'' for pause, ''E'' for piezo sleep, or a space for no event to report.
