High level, or Cube Commands

Each one of these commands takes a cube name or number as a parameter. The value or action specified belongs to that cube. The only exceptions to this are the commands GRI, REFR and D0, which do not take a cube as a parameter. Instead, GRI and REFR always act on the refractometer cube, and D0 always acts on the reference cube.

AZM Sets/returns azimuth coordinate
CIL Illuminate cube with laser
