For details of communication, refer to P.7-27, "Communication".Caution • Allow 50ms or longer interval for axis switching when you want to cap-ture multiple axes data.• It is recommended for you to repeat the above communication morethan 2 times to confirm the absolute data coincide, in order to avoidmis-operation due to unexpected noise.
