--This command queries the current angular position in PWM "units". The user must take into consideration that the response includes any angular range and origin configurations in order to determine the actual angle.
--Valid values for QP are {-500, [500, 2500], -2500}. Values outside the [500, 2500] range are given a negative corresponding end point value to indicate they are out of bounds (note that if the servo is physically located at one of the endpoints, it may return a negative number if it is a fraction of a degree beyond the position).

--EM1 (Enable Motion Profile #1) is the default mode of the LSS and is an easy way to control the servo's position with a single (serial) position command. This mode uses a trapezoidal motion profile which takes care of acceleration, constant speed travel and deceleration. Once the actual position is within a certain value of the target, it switches to a holding algorithm. The LSS commands for Angular Acceleration and Deceleration (AA/CAA/AD/CAD) Angular Stiffness (AS/CAS) and Angular holding stiffness (AH/CAH) affect this motion profile. Modifiers like SD/S and T can be used in EM1.<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>

++Example: #5O2400<cr>This command allows you to change the origin of the servo in relation to the factory zero position for that session.

--Ex: #5EM0&lt;cr&gt;<div class="wikimodel-emptyline"></div>
--This command will disable the built-in trapezoidal motion profile. As such, the servo will move at full speed to the target position using the D/MD action commands. Modifiers like SD/S or T cannot be used in EM0 mode. By default the Filter Position Counter, or "FPC" is active in EM0 mode to smooth out its operation. EM0 is suggested for applications where an external controller will be determining all incremental intermediate positions of the servo's motion, effectively replacing a trajectory manager. To prevent having to send position commands continuously to reach the desired position in EM0/FPC active (FPC >= 2), an internal position engine (IPE) repeats the last position command. Note that in EM0 mode, the servo will effectively always be in status: Holding (if using the query status command).

++In certain cases, a user might want to have the servo move to a specific angle upon power up; we refer to this as "first position" (a.k.a. "initial position"). The factory default has no first position value stored in EEPROM and therefore upon power up, the servo remains limp until a position (or hold command) is assigned. Note that the number should be restricted to -1790 (-179.0 degrees) to +1790 (179.0 degrees) and values beyond this will be changed to 1800.Query First Position in Degrees (**QFD**)Ex: #5QFD<cr> might return *5QFD900<cr>The reply above indicates that servo with ID 5 has a first position of 90.0 degrees. If there is no first position value stored, the reply will be DIS.Configure First Position in Degrees (**CFD**)Ex: #5CFD900<cr>This configuration command means the servo, when set to smart mode, will immediately move to 90.0 degrees upon power up. Sending a CFD command without a number (Ex. #5CFD<cr>) results in the servo remaining limp upon power up. In order to remove the first position, send no value, ex: #5CFD<cr>
