Watch Monitor Display
The Watch Monitor allows displaying 14 bits and words at random. The display areas for the CH (word
address) and Val (current value) will be blank. The comments will be shown beside each bit and word.
Maximum number of characters for comments is the same as the Bit Monitor, up to 22 characters for
the NS15 and 12 for the NS10, NS8, and NS5. The current value cannot be changed on the Watch
Monitor display.

The Watch Monitor Screen for the NS5 consists of a total of 8 pages. Four pages display the bit area
and four pages display the word area in individual groups. Press the Left (<) or Right (>) Button in the
center of the screen to display the four bit area pages followed by the 4 word area pages. After the last
word area page is displayed, the screen returns to the first bit area page. Like the procedure with the
Bit Monitor, press the Setting Button in the lower right corner of the screen to switch to the Setting
