This counter shows the total number of pulses that have been to the motor driver.  It can be read using the ASCII command PP, which returns the pulse count of all 4 axes. The return value has the following format: 

[Pulse X]:[Pulse Y]:[Pulse Z]:[Pulse U]


The pulse count of each axis can also be accessed individually. To manually set/get the pulse position of an individual axis, use the P[axis] command.

When StepNLoop closed-loop control is enabled, the pulse counter commands return the real-time target position of the motor.  When StepNLoop closed-loop control is disabled, the pulse position commands return the step position.  See 2.5.3 StepNLoop Closed Loop Control operation for details on the StepNLoop feature.
