The text section

The text portion of each DCS message consists of a null terminated ASCII text string composed of white-space separated tokens. The first token in each message is the DCS command; all remaining tokens are the arguments to the command. For example, the following is a command from a GUI client to DCSS requesting that the motor table_vert_1 be moved to the absolute scaled position of 10.0:

gtos_start_motor_move table_vert_1 10.0
