5-4 Memory Tables

The NT600S has the “character-string memory table” for the character data and the “numeral memory table” for numeric data which can be written and updated by the PC/Host.

Reference The contents of the memory tables can be set by using the support tool when dis- playing the memory tables on the screen or by editing the table.

5-4-1 Character-String Memory Table

The character-string memory table is an NT600S internal memory used to store the character data. Up to 256 character-string memory tables can be used, and up to 20 full size characters (40 bytes) can be stored in one memory table. The char- acter-string memory tables at up to 50 positions can be registered in one screen.

Displaying a Character-string

The character-string memory tables are registered with table numbers 0 to 255.

When creating the screen data by using the support tool, set the position on the screen to display a character-string and also set a character-string number to be displayed.

When the NT600S is operated, the screen displays the contents of the character- string memory table.

In the direct connection of Ver. 5, it is possible to display the character-string by designating the number of the character-string memory table using the numeric memory table instead of directly changing the contents of the character-string memory table. (indirect designation)

For the procedure for changing the character-string in the table, refer to “Changing

Displayed Numerals or Character Strings (Changing the Contents of Allocated

Words)” (page 170, 172) or “Write Character-string Memory Table” (page 208).

If the RS-232C communication is used, it is possible to display the character-string by the Host instruction disregarding of the screen presently displayed (terminal function). Refer to “Specify Displayed Characters” (page 225).

Characters and Figures Which can be Displayed

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 of the character- string memory table.

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

The following types of characters can be displayed on the NT600S:

Character	Dots		Maximum Number of
	(vertical x	Character Set	Characters Displayed in One
Type
	horizontal)		Screen (without overwriting)
