2. Press the TR Key to switch to ASCII display. The display will toggle between
hexadecimal and ASCII displays each time the TR Key is pressed.
Note 1. A message contained in three words can be displayed by using ASCII dis-
play in combination with the 3-word monitor operation.
2. The Hexadecimal, BCD Data Modification Operation can be used while dis-
playing ASCII data. Input values in 4-digit hexadecimal.
This operation is used to display the current average cycle time (scan time).
It is possible only in RUN or MONITOR mode while the program is being
executed.
RUN
OK
1. Press the CLR Key to bring up the initial display.
2. Press the MONTR Key to display the cycle time.
There might be differences in displayed values when the MONTR Key is
pressed repeatedly. These differences are caused by changing execution
conditions.
