ªNoº to save time. You can manually rewrite the screen by pressing the Tab

 

 

Key during operation.

Temporary Directory

The Support Tool will create a temporary work file when creating screens or

 

transferring data to or from ROM. Most write operations are performed on

 

this temporary file. To increase overall operating speed, this file should be

 

created on your hard disk or in RAM.

Tool Settings File

File settings are saved in the root directory for the Support Tool, i.e., the di-

 

rectory from which the Support Tool is started. The file name is

 

NTMSET.ENV. If this file exists in the root directory when the Support Tool is

 

started, the setting in the file will be read and the Support Tool will operate

 

according to them. Tool settings files can be used to eliminate the need to

 

reset tool setting each time the Support Tool is started.

Display Grid

A grid can be displayed to aid in positioning objects when creating screens.

 

The Tool Settings can be used to disable the grid or to set its size to 8, 16, or

 

32 dots. The grid size can also be set to the same size as a touch switch by

 

specifying ªTouchSW.º The grid, once enabled, can be turned ON or OFF as

 

desired during operation. Refer to page 12 for details.
