The procedure for creating library data and registering them on a screen is de-
scribed briefly here. For details, refer to the NT-series Support Tool Version 4 for
Windows Operation Manual (V061-E1-).

Screen editing.
Register the created library data for display.
Indirect Specification
With indirect specification, specify a numeral memory table entry containing the
desired hexadecimal code. The PT treats the contents of the specified numeral
memory table entry as a library code and displays the corresponding library
image. This function is very convenient when you want to change displayed li-
braries.
Since library codes are hexadecimal, the Storage Type of the numeral memory
table entries that contain library codes must be set to binary and the values (li-
brary code numbers) stored in the table entries must be hexadecimal.

Restrictions
• A maximum of 12,288 library data can be created for one screen data file: each
of the library data is assigned any required code within the range 1000 to
3FFF
H (image/library code range) so that it can be managed and specified.
• A total of up to 256 image and library data elements (directly and indirectly spe-
cified) can be registered on one screen. (Same for window screen.) For over-
lapping screens comprising 8 child screens, the maximum is also 256.
• The maximum number of elements that can be registered for one library data is
65,535.
• The elements that can be registered in library data are the following fixed dis-
play elements: other elements cannot be registered.
Text, circles, arcs, sectors, polylines, polygons, rectangles, tiling, marks.
• The codes used for library data are dedicated for image/library data use.
Library data cannot be included in character strings in the same way that
marks can, unless the PT is in NT20S or NT30/620 compatible mode.
