Function(Releasenumber2andlater)
This section provides an outline on how to use the DARWIN compatible communication
function and how to configure it.
1.27.1 Overview
A portion of the DARWIN’s setting and control commands is supported.
Measured data, math data, and so on can be output in DARWIN format.
You can use an existing program that has been created for DARWIN to communicate with
the GX/GP.
