* \[fb]/\[do]: You can easily input the signal output variable value by using numbers and decimal point only.

For example, input 2.9 and press the \<enter> key. Then, it will be converted to and displayed as fb2.do9. If you input 9 without decimal point and press the \<enter> key, it will be converted to do9.
