as *XXX*XXX*XXX*.
As an example, suppose you want to report the on/off condition of a device
SR6, during each cycle of machine operation. The delimiters denote the
output address 013/05, and the cycle counter accumulated value (stored at
030). The desired message, “SR6 is (on or off) in cycle (xxx)”, is entered
into memory with the following keystrokes:
