Numerical values can be entered with a decimal point. A decimal point
can be used when entering a distance, time, or speed. Decimal points can
be specified with the following addresses:
X, Y, Z, U, V, W, A, B, C, I, J, K, Q, R, F M series
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
X, Y, Z, U, V, W, A, B, C, I, J, K, R, F. T series. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
There are two types of decimal point notation: calculatorĆtype notation
and standard notation.
When calculatorĆtype decimal point notation is used, a value without
decimal point is considered to be specified in millimeters, inches or
degree. When standard decimal point notation is used, such a value is
considered to be specified in least input increments. Select either
calculatorĆtype or standard decimal point notation by using the DPI bit
(bit 0 of parameter 3401). Values can be specified both with and without
decimal point in a single program.
