Lamp Attributes
S If a graph is duplicated by drawing multiple graph lines of the same % value, it
is overwritten and displayed in the order of setting. At this time, since the part
that the lines are duplicated is displayed by use of those colors of the Exclusive
OR display (Refer to page 124), the line type and line color are displayed differ-
ently than that specified.
S Since a graph line is overwritten with respect to the graph frame when 0% val-
ue continues in a graph with a sign displayed, line type and line color are dis-
played differently than that specified.
S The interval between apexes for broken line graphs can be changed freely
using Interval Setting under Line Property. (With DOS versions of the NT-se-
ries Support Tool, the interval between apexes is fixed at the same interval and
can be changed when the broken line graph is corrected.
A lamp is a graphic area capable of changing the displaying state according to a
command from the PC. There are two kinds of lamps: Normal lamps that change
the displaying state (OFF, ON, flashing) of a graphic fixedly displayed and image/
library lamps that display separate graphics in OFF and ON states. Lamps are
set when creating screen data on the NT-series Support Tool.
A maximum of 256 lamps can be set on a screen, and 1,024 lamps can be regis-
tered in a screen data file.
Contents of the setting differs depending on the lamp type (normal lamp or
image/library lamp).
For the actual method used to modify a currently displayed lamp, see Turning ON
and OFF Lamps (page 216).
