5-3 Screen Display

This section describes the screen information required for the operation with the

NT600S.

5-3-1 Classification of Screens

The NT600S is provided with the following types of screens which are classified by the display method.

 

Normal screen

 

￿Overlapping screen

 

Continuous screen

 

The screen type is set with each screen in the “Screen Selection” screen of the

 

support tool. Select a screen type according to the purpose, and create characters

 

and figures on the screen. The details of each screen type are given below.

Normal Screen

A normal screen is the basic screen of the NT600S. It is not necessary to select a

 

screen type (overlapping or consecutive) when to create the screen data on a nor-

 

mal screen.

 

When a normal screen is selected, existing screens will be erased and a normal

 

screen will be displayed.

Overlapping Screen

Several normal screens can be overlapped and displayed as one screen. A group

 

of overlapped screens is called an “overlapping screen”.

 

Several normal screens are displayed in the order of screen numbers which have

 

been designated to each screen and form an overlapping screen. Up to eight

 

screens can be overlapped to form one overlapping screen. The base screen used

 

for making an overlapping screen is called a “parent screen”, and a bunch of

 

screens which are laid over the parent screen are called “child screens”.

 

All display elements can be used on a parent screen.

Reference The screen attributes such as a buzzer attribute set in the parent screen become effective in an overlapping screen.

[Example overlapping screen]

 

(1)

Screen #8

 

This is an

(2)

overlapping

 

screen.

 

 

(3)

Screen #10

This is an

Screen #7

overlapping

Screen #25

screen.

￿Parent screen: #8

Child screens: #10, #7, and #25

When screen #8 is designated, screen #8 becomes the parent screen and the child screens #10, #7, and #25 are displayed over the parent screen in that order.
