(For 3 axes)
Header 1 Data 1 Axis separator Header 2 Data 2 Axis separator Header 3 Data 3 CR
Th e header contents are selected using the HDR (data header) command, and the axis separators by the

Type 1 <Axis label>=
Type 2 <Axis label><Comparator results><Output data>
<Error information><Reference point information>=
<Axis label>
Th e axis label is output as follows.
[00A] = Axis A for MG41 main unit
[00B] = Axis B for MG41 main unit
[00C] = Axis C for MG41 main unit
[00D] = Axis D for MG41 main unit
[01A] = Axis A for MG42 hub unit #01
[01B] = Axis B for MG42 hub unit #01
[01C] = Axis C for MG42 hub unit #01
[01D] = Axis D for MG42 hub unit #01

[31A] = Axis A for MG42 hub unit #31
[31B] = Axis B for MG42 hub unit #31
[31C] = Axis C for MG42 hub unit #31
[31D] = Axis D for MG42 hub unit #31
