This section describes how the numerical data input at an NT620S/620C is as-
certained by the PC.
In order to determine when numerical data has been input at the NT620S/620C,
the numeral setting strobe flag in the PT status notify area is used. In order to
determine the upgraded numeral memory table number, the "content upgrade
memory table" in the PT status notify area is used.
When numerical data is input at the NT620S/620C, this is automatically notified
to the PT status notify area (PT → PC) allocated in the PC memory as follows.
Notification of upgrade:
Upgraded numeral table number: Stored in the "content upgrade memory
When the PC reads the "content upgrade memory table" at the leading edge of
the numeral setting strobe flag, it determines the numeral memory table number
in which the numerical data that was changed at the NT620S/620C is stored.

the OFF (0) status.
