READY to RUN, i.e., when pattern operation starts.
•
The pattern start number can be set on the display unit screen or via
communication.
•
Add the base number to the pattern number specified by the DI and set it as the
pattern start number.

The base number for the pattern selection by DI is the value obtained by
subtracting 1 from the pattern start number low limit.
The value obtained by adding the base number to the sum of the pattern numbers
specified by DI is the pattern number at which operation is started.
