4-2-2 Characters and Figures Which can be Displayed
The NT20S screen can display characters, figures, and other various elements.
This section describes the types and attributes of the characters and figures which
can be displayed and do not need to be changed at all.
For the settings, display, and use of the characters, numeric values, and graphs
which change according to the system operation status and other conditions, refer
to Section 4-4 Memory Table (page 126).
The power of expression of the screen can be increased by giving various attrib-
utes such as the enlarged or reverse display to the characters and figures.
The character and figure attributes can be set in the edit screen when creating the
screen data by using the support tool.
When using the NT20S-ST128 (RS-232C), character strings can also be dis-
played in accordance with commands from the host, independently of the current-
ly displayed screen (this is the “terminal function”).
