Note 1. The maximum number of files that can be managed by the Support Tool is

254. Any files beyond this number cannot be accessed. If this situation occurs, use another data directory.

2.The only items displayed on the File Selection Display are the models and memory capacity that have been set with Tool Settings. For example, if the NT20M is set as the model and 32 KB is set as the memory, then NT600M files and 64 KB or 128KB NT20M files will not be displayed. Use the Memory Capacity Function Key to alter the memory capacity data set in the file.
