Switching the counter type using the menu
The type of the counter to be displayed on the monitor screen can be changed using the sub-menu [Counter] under the
menu [Dsp sw.]. If the counter type is switched using the menus [Counter #1] to [Counter #5], the values of the parameters
"#8901 Counter type 1" to "8905 Counter type 5" are rewritten.
However, when data protection is valid, the displayed counter type can be switched using the menu, but the value of each
parameter cannot be rewritten. In this case, if the display returns to the monitor screen after switching to another screen
while the displayed counter type is different from the parameter value, the displayed counter is set to the counter type that
matches the parameter value.
The figure below shows the counter types that can be displayed using the menu [Counter] as well as the switching order.

(*1) If a counter other than the 13 types of counters above ("Relative position" to "Inclined surface coordinate position") is
set to the parameter ("#8901 Counter type 1" to "#8905 Counter type 5") before the counter type is switched using the
menu [Counter], the counter type is switched among 14 types of counters, including that counter. When the counter
type is switched to a counter type other than the 13 counter types above, it is held until the power is turned OFF.
Furthermore, if the 13 counter types above are designated in parameters before the counter type is switched using the
menu, the counter type is switched among these 13 counter types.
(*2) "Tip workpiece position", "Tip machine position", "Tool axis movement", "Table coordinate position", "Workpiece set
position" and "Inclined surface coordinate position" counters can be switched when any of the following specifications
is valid.
