The Readout has an output port that may be used to send
measurement or position information to another device (i.e. a PC)

show activation of the send function (even if no device is attached to the
Readout).

transmitted as millimeters. The position data transmitted is typically the
displayed position on the LCD, with the exception of when Special Function
Mode is set to Measurement Accumulation or Statistics modes (See

sent, NOT the current encoder position.
