Characters and Figures Which Can Be Displayed

Types and Attributes of Characters and Figures
Note
The NT20 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 con-
ditions, refer to 4-4 Memory Tables (page 144).
The power of expression of the screen can be increased by giving various
attributes such as the enlarged or reverse display to the characters and fig-
ures.
The character and figure attributes can be set in the edit screen when creating
the screen data by using the Support Tool.
When using the NT20-ST128 (RS-232C), character strings can also be dis-
played according to commands from the host, independently of the currently
displayed screen (this is the "terminal function").
The following types of characters can be input by using the Support Tool and
be displayed during operation.

Support Tool. Marks can be handled the same as the wide size characters.

acter code FF20 to FF5F.
