Setting screen layout
The screen layout is user-selectable. In the Programming mode,
for example, you can have the control show program blocks in the
left window while the right window displays programming graphics.
You could also display the program structure in the right window
instead, or display only program blocks in one large window. The
available screen windows depend on the selected operating mode.
