Type conversion to STRING (AXSTRING)

Function
Using the function "type conversion to STRING" variables of different types can be used as a
component of a message (MSG).
When using the << operator this is realized implicitly for data types INT, REAL, CHAR and
BOOL (see "Concatenation of strings (<<) (Page 83)").
An INT value is converted to normal readable format. REAL values convert with up to 10
decimal places.
Type AXIS variables can be converted to STRING using the AXSTRING command.
Syntax
<STRING_ERG> = << <any_type>
<STRING_ERG> = AXSTRING(<axis identifier>)
Significance

<any_type>:
AXSTRING:
<axis identifier>:
Note
FRAME variables cannot be converted.
