Section 4-2

5-2-2 Characters and Figures Which can be Displayed

The NT600S screen can display characters, figures, and other various elements.

This section describes the types and attributes of the characters and figures which can be displayed and do not need to be changed at all.

For the settings, display, and use of the characters, numeric values, and graphs which change according to the system operation status and other conditions, refer to Section 4-4 Memory Table (page 128) and Section 5-2 Memory Tables and Bar Graph (page 164).

The power of expression of the screen can be increased by giving various attrib- utes such as the enlarged or reverse display to the characters and figures.

The character and figure attributes can be set in the edit screen when creating the screen data by using the support tool.

When displaying the characters using a command from a Host, character attrib- utes are displayed in accordance with the enlarged size, which is obtained by executing the command, and the display attribute.
