Cannot transfer
data from
GTWIN
1) The screen transfer cable is not
connected.
1) Confirm that the screen transfer cable is correctly
and firmly connected.
2) The PC and GT COM port are
connected.
2) Connect to TOOL port with screen transfer cable.
3) The TOOL port of the GT has
been set to 230400 bps.
3) Set the baud rate for the GTWIN communication
condition to 230400 bps before transfer data.
4) The network type in the
communication settings has been
set to either “Ethernet” or “USB”.
4) Set the network type in the communication settings

An error has occurred in the GT
system.
1) After confirming the safety of the device, etc., turn
off the power supply and then turn it on again. The
GT CPU will be reset.
2) If 1) produces no change, bring up the system
menu and initialize the memory (F-ROM), then
transfer data again from GTWIN to the GT.
NOTE:
When doing this, all base screen data, GT setting
data, keyboard screen data, and bitmap data will
be lose. Before doing this, make sure all data has
been backed up.
3) If 2) produces no change, set the operating mode
setting switches 2, 3 and 4 on the rear of the main
unit to ON and reset the power supply.
NOTE:
When doing this, all of the contents will revert to
those in effect at the time of shipping, and all of the
GT memory contents will be cleared. Before doing
this, make sure all data has been backed up.
