*3:For the tolerance setting, first enter the lower limit value,
then the upper limit value.
An error will result if the entries are not made in this order.
If this is the case, make the setting again, starting with the
CD command entry.
*4:The response output value (%) for the entered CK command
represents the HOLD status.
% = 1: The counter is in the HOLD state.
% = 0: The counter is not in the HOLD state.
*5:Precautions to be observed when calculation data is output
by the CT command:
This command is valid only if the I/O function selection pa-
rameter is set to "Calculation mode".
A double backslash (\\) is used to specify the calculation
method between the axes which have been specified by the

clear the buffer and wait for more than one second,
then send the same command again.
