If you do not want to output a count of 1 for the first workpiece, you can specify an 
additive value (e.g., <#,$AC_ACTUAL_PARTS + 100>). The workpiece count output is 
then incremented by this value (e. g. 101, 102, 103,...). 
●  Numbers 
When outputting number (e. g. measurement results), you can select the output format 
(digits either side of the point) of the number to be engraved. 
●  Text 
Instead of entering a fixed text in the engraving text field, you can specify the text to be 
engraved via a text variable (e. g., _VAR_TEXT="ABC123"). 
Mirror writing 
You can engrave the text mirrored on the workpiece. 
Full circle 
If you want to distribute the characters evenly around a full circle, enter the arc angle 
α2=360°. The cycle then distributes the characters evenly around the full circle.
