When leading zeros are suppressed, "superfluous" zeros are replaced by spaces and any
negative prefix is moved along accordingly.
Inserting a Cursor or Question Mark
In parallel drive, if inputs "?" (E6) or "_" (E5) are set in the first cycle of the variable
selection, the last character (lowest value part) and the question mark ("?") or underline
("_") will flash alternately when the variable value is displayed. This type of flashing
display may be used as an operator prompt, if required.
Example:
12345
alternating with:
1234?
If E6 and E5 are set simultaneously, the question mark has priority.
"?" or "_" may be flashed even when there is no variable transmission.
Variables in Background Text
Variables can also be inserted into background text, becoming visible when you scroll to
the corresponding line.
