tion set for them.

Host notification function
This function notifies the host that a touch switch has been pressed.
When this function is used, a bit for notification (the notify bit) must be set for the
touch switch.
The input statuses of the touch switches displayed at the
NT31/NT31C are always reflected by the notify bits. If the notify bit is not set, the
touch switch will not function (it will function as a lamp only).
The properties for input notification are as follows.
