3-1 LSS Capabilities
The LSS is a complete programming and control package designed for C-series
PCs. It provides not only programming capabilities, but also advanced debug-
ging, monitoring, and program/data management. The following tables provide
only a brief introduction to the capabilities of the LSS. For further information and
actual operating procedures, please refer to the

Group Description
General
Programming
General programming operations feature function keys to easily read, write, and store programs.
PROGRAMMING
SAVE PROGRAM Writes all or part of the user program to a data disk.
RETRIEVE PROGRAM Retrieves all or part of the user program from on a data disk.
CHANGE DISPLAY Switches the display between four display modes: Ladder, Ladder
with Comments, Mnemonic 1 (function key and numeric key input
mode) and Mnemonic 2 (alphanumeric key input mode).
SEARCH INSTRUCTION Searches for instructions including specified operands.
I/O COMMENT Creates, reads, modifies, and searches for I/O comments.
BLOCK COMMENT Creates, edits, and searches for block comments for output instruc-
tions.
LINE COMMENT Creates, searches for, and edits line comments.
CUT AND PASTE Edits programs by copying, moving, or deleting instruction blocks.
EDIT I/O COMMENT Displays 32 I/O comments at once to write, edit, and search.
RETRIEVE COMMENTS Retrieves comments from programs stored on a data disk.
MEMORY USAGE Displays the used capacity of user program memory, comments,
and internal memory.
CLEAR MEMORY Clears the user program memory.
CHECK PROGRAM Checks whether the user program contains syntax errors. The check
can be performed in three levels.
DM (data memory) DM operations are used to edit DM data in hexadecimal or ASCII form. There are also features
for copying, filling and printing DM data, as well as data disk save and retrieve operations.
I/O TABLE I/O TABLE is used to edit, check, and print I/O tables. It also provides data disk save and
retrieve operations.

DATA AREA LISTS Displays lists of such items as used areas and cross-references
(i.e., instructions that use specified operands).
CHANGE ADDRESS Globally changes bit and word addresses in the user program.
PRINT LISTS Prints lists, ladder diagrams, and mnemonics.
EPROM FUNCTIONS Writes, reads, and compares the user program between the PROM
Writer and system work disk.

DATA TRACE Accesses the data trace displays produced online.
SET INSTRUCTIONS Used to assign instructions to function codes in instructions tables
and to save/retrieve instructions tables to/from data disk files.
RETRIEVE/SAVE INSTR Used to save and retrieve expansion instruction sets to and from
data disk files.
PC SETUP Used to set the PC operating parameters in the PC Setup and to
