11.1 DECIMAL POINT PROGRAMMING/POCKET CALCULATOR
TYPE DECIMAL POINT PROGRAMMING
General
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, S
There are two types of decimal point notation: calculator-type notation
and standard notation.
When calculator-type 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
calculator-type or standard decimal point notation by using the DPI bit
(bit 0 of parameter 2400). Values can
be specified both with and without decimal point in a single program.
