NT31/NT31C Screen
Window Screens
Apart from the normal (standard) screen display method, which a screen is dis-
played over the entire panel area, the NT31/NT31C also allows screens to be dis-
played in one part of the screen area only. This partial screen is called a "window",
and a screen on which a window is displayed is called a "window screen".
Window screens can be registered under any screen numbers 1 to 3999. Howev-
er, screens that are registered as window screens cannot be displayed indepen-
dently like normal (standard) screens.

Windows can be called anytime, regardless of which screen is currently displayed.
It is possible to display multiple windows (max : 3) on the same screen, and to
open, close or move windows by the control from the host.
With NT31/NT31C, up to three windows can be displayed at the same time.
One of these window is called a "global window". This window can be displayed all
the time, regardless of which screen is currently displayed.
Other two windows are called "local windows". These windows can be displayed
by linking to the currently desplayed screens. When the screen is switched, the
local window is closed automatically.
For details, refer to 7-14 "Window Function" (page 438 ).
