Format Explanation
C Counter
Cf:e
f
File number. Number 5 is the default file. A file number between 10 – 255

where Cf:e is explained above, and;
. is the word delimiter

/ is the bit delimiter
b indicates bit

C5:0/14 Count down enable bit
C5:0/13 Done bit
C5:0/12 Overflow bit
C5:0/11 Underflow bit
C5:0/10 Update accum. bit (HSC in fixed controller only)
C5:0.1 or C5:0.PRE Preset value of the counter
C5:0.2 or C5:0.ACC Accumulated value of the counter
C5:0.1/0 Bit 0 of the preset value
C5:0.2/0 Bit 0 of the accumulated value
