<CHARACTER
PROGRAM DATA>
Expresses a decimal digit. <CHARACTER PROGRAM DATA> such as MINirnum and
MAXimum are included as special numerical value type data.
The numerical values used by this device are mainly integer type.
Therefore, the fractional part is rounded.

OFF or
0
corresponds to false and ON or
1
corresponds to true. The setting can be done
by
O
and 1, or OFF and ON. However, the setting for the response to a query must be

marks
(
'
)
or double quotation marks
(

)
.
Either long or short form can be used.
Example:
'LOF
:
M 139' or "LOF
:
M
139"
Expresses a character data. Expressed in a short character string that corresponds to the
