(Check sum)
• The current value is the value to be marked
from now.
• The counter current value change is saved
to the laser marker without overwriting
operation.
If the starting value is larger than the end one,
it works as a subtraction counter.
The step value indicates a value to increase
or decrease per one counting-up or counting-
down.
It is the timing to update the current value of
the counter.
• It is the setting to reset the counter when
the system clock date of the laser marker is
updated.
• The counter reset at date change cannot
be used with on-the-fly marking at regular
intervals or on-the-fly marking with multiple
triggers.
