3.4 INPUT/OUTPUT FORMATS
This section explains the input/output formats for parameters and
pitch error compensation data.
3.4.1 Input/Output Formats for Parameters
Parameters are classified according to data types, as follows.
- Bit type
- Bit axis type
- Bit spindle type
- Integer type
- Integer axis type
- Integer spindle type
- Real type
- Real axis type
- Real spindle type
Bit/bit axis/bit spindle type parameters are represented by 8-digit
binary numbers, with each digit occupying a single bit.
The valid value ranges of the individual integer/integer axis/integer
spindle/real/real axis/real spindle type parameters differ. For details,
see the description of each parameter.
- Keywords
The following alphabetic characters are used as keywords.
The numeric values following the keywords have the meanings
described below.
