Example: MP910.0 : +1000 ; traverse range

Binary input is recommended for machine parameters that activate individual functions bit-encoded.
Example: MP10 : %00000000011111 ; active axes

The identifier $ is displayed before the value.
The hexadecimal input is suitable, e.g. for large numerical values.
