Manual. An example when “K50” appears in the AS Series Programming Manual, enter only the number 50 in 
ISPSoft. 
*2: Floating-point numbers are indicated by F/DF in the device lists in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 in the AS 
Series Programming Manual, but they are represented by decimal points in ISPSoft. For example, for the 
floating-point number F500, enter 500.0 in ISPSoft.   
*3: Strings are indicated by “$” in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 in the AS Series Programming Manual, but they
