Getting position coordinates while servos are detached

hello,
i am controlling the uarm swift pro using gcode over serial from processing.
i can only get the coordinates from the robot when the servos are attached. when they are detached i get no response from the “P2220\n” command.
is it possible to get the coordinates while the servos are detached?
thanks!
jacob

When servos are detached, coordinates can only be actively reported by M2120.
