1-3 System Configuration

The NT20M/NT600M Support Tool is a software package for creating and

maintaining display Screens, memory tables, and custom characters (called

marks) for the NT20M and NT600M Programmable Terminals. The Support

Tool uses a complete system of menus to facilitate operation.

1-3-1 NT20M and NT600M Support Tool Operations

The Support Tool can be used to create and modify screens, memory tables,

and marks, and save resulting data as files. Data created on the Support Tool

can be transmitted to the NT20M or NT600M Programmable Terminal. In ad-

dition, the Support Tool can receive data from a Programmable Terminal, or

data created on the Support Tool can be transmitted to a PROM writer. Also,

the Support Tool can receive data from PROM writers. The Support Tool can

read history records stored in a Programmable Terminal, and save them in

files.
