MC+X +MIT1 (+MITX): Contact to X-axis (X + direction) contact face
MC-X -MIT1 (-MITX): Contact to X-axis (X - direction) contact face
MC+Z +MIT2 (+MITZ): Contact to Z-axis (Z + direction) contact face
MC-Z -MIT2 (-MITZ): Contact to Z-axis (Z - direction) contact face
In case more than one signal are selected an alarm will be generated and the measurement will be
suppressed.
