new axis names for the following axes: C1, C2, and C3. The axis name is a two-
digit numerical value, a two-character combination of letters, or a two-character
combination of a numerical value and a letter.

The Standard and Steinwald data formats transfer measured values
only when the following axis names are assigned: X, Y, Z, Q, R, D, L, W,
A, C, f, Lx, Ly, or Lz.
The minimum, maximum, and range values are transferred only if the
axis names X, Y, or Q are assigned.
If you want to use specific axis names and transfer measured values to
a computer, you must modify, for example,
MyFormat1.xml
or another
format file you created by adding the axis names that you assigned.
