Measured value (BCD) acquisition processing when using an external
trigger
For BCD output, the upper and lower digits must be acquired separately. The upper and
lower digits can be acquired in any order. In the following example, the upper digits are
acquired first. If the response of the input circuit in the controller is slow, inserting wait pro-
cessing after the EOM signal switching to ON is detected until a measurement value (in the
BCD format) is acquired.
