ping - test the comunication with the Galil box

SYNOPSIS

       ping

DESCRIPTION

       This  procedure  performs a simple test to check communca-
       tion towards the Galil Box. It  sends  a  TP  command  and
       shows the response. This is the procedure suggested by the
       vendor to test communications.  With  good  communications
       you  would expect to get a bunch of numbers indicating the
       current motor positions.
