use for NT Links, "Connecting" was dis-
played if either of the hosts was not con-
nected.

data checking from the System Menu.

processed by an NS-series PT was 40

was cleared including current alarms or
events.

New version
Scalable fonts have been added to enable
smooth displays. Gothic numeral and 7-
segment displays have also been added to
allow more attractive and up-to-date
screens to be created.
Speed and bitmap performance have been
improved for switching screens.
Even if one host is not connected, the mon-
itoring results of the connected host can be
displayed on the screen without "Connect-
ing" being displayed.
The following information can now be dis-
played.
• Command destination port names
• Destination network addresses
• Destination node addresses
• Destination unit numbers
• DeviceNet Slave Unit address and
Inverter node addresses
The Programming Console function is built-
in to the NS5-V2, so there is no need for a
Memory Card.
The maximum data length has been
increased to 254 bytes, allowing the data to
be processed by two-dimensional bar code
readers.
The following functions have been added to
test screens.
• Zoom
• Always displaying on top
• Starting test screens in the previous dis-
play position and zoom status
It is now possible to convert DXF files to

System Memory $SW40 has been added
so that it is now possible to specify initializ-
ing cleared or confirmed history data.
A list of hosts can now be displayed by
selecting Communications Settings from
the System Menu. It is now also possible to
change the host network address, node
address, and host type.
