Anticipation output function
The anticipation output function is a signal output timing adjustment function to advance or 
delay the ON/OFF timing of 32 general-purpose outputs and 16 general-purpose output 
groups.  The signal can be output before or after the manipulator reaches the step.
This function corrects work timing errors due to delays in the motions of a peripheral device 
and/or the manipulator.
Setting the time to a negative value (-) advances the signal output.
This can be used to correct work timing errors due to delays in the motions of a peripheral 
device.
Setting the time to a positive value (+) delays the signal output.
This can be used to correct work timing errors due to delays in the motions of the manipu-
lator.
<Advanced signal output>
The signal is output before the manipulator reaches the step.
<Delayed signal output>
The signal is output after the manipulator reaches the step.
