25.8.6.1 Print/Data Settings - Data Type

Specify Input/Display Range

Designate whether or not an input range and display range of the data will be set. If designated, the following setting items will appear.

Data Type

Choose the data type from [Dec], [BCD], [Hex], or [Float].

[Float] can only be selected when the set [Bit Length] is [32 Bit] on the [Address] tab.

When [BCD] is selected, sampling data that contains the digits A-F (hexadecimal) rather than BCD is printed as "----" (Number of digits "-").

Sign +/-

Designate whether or not to attach a minus sign to data. This can only be set when the [Data Type] is [Dec].

This is fixed when the [Data Type] is [Float].

Input Range

Sign +/-

If [Specify Input/Display Range] is designated and [Data Type] is [Dec] or [Hex], select whether or not to handle negative numbers.

None

Only positive numeric data.

2's Complement

Negative numbers are handled with 2's complement.

MSB Sign

Negative numbers are handled with MSB sign (highest bit).

Bit Length

If [Specify Input/Display Range] is designated and [Data Length] is [16 Bit] on the [Address] tab, set the bit length for one word from 1 to 16.

Min. Value/Max. Value

If [Specify Input/Display Range] is designated, set the data input range. Each [Data Type] and [Input Sign] has a different size range.

Bit Length	Data Type	Sign +/-	Input Range
16 bit	Dec	None	0 to 65535
		2's Complement	-32768 to 32767
		MSB Sign	-32767 to 32767
	Hex	None	0 to 65535
		2's Complement	-32768 to 32767
		MSB Sign	-32767 to 32767
	BCD	—	0 to 9999
32 bit	Dec	None	0 to 4294967295
		2's Complement	-2147483648 to 2147483647
		MSB Sign	-2147483647 to 2147483647
	Hex	None	0 to 4294967295
		2's Complement	-2147483648 to 2147483647
		MSB Sign	-2147483647 to 2147483647
	BCD	—	0 to 99999999
	Float	—	-9.9e16 to 9.9e16

If [Specify Input/Display Range] is designated, Min. Value/Max. Value for the [Display Range] is displayed.

Display Range

Display Sign +/-

If [Specify Input/Display Range] is designated and [Data Type] is [Dec], select whether or not to attach a sign to display data. This is fixed when the [Data Type] is [Float].

Round Off

Designate whether or not to round off fractional values when converting input values to the display range. Fractional values are truncated if rounding off is not selected.

Min. Value/Max. Value

If you select [Specify an Input/Display Range], select the Min/Max for the display range. The settings range is different, depending on the [Data Type] and whether [Display Sign +/-] is set.
