Changing, Confirming, and Clearing Preset Values for Timers and Counters
Preset values for timers and counters can be changed by selecting Online > Monitor > Monitor, followed by Online > Custom
> New Custom Monitor on WindLDR for transferring a new value to the FC6A Series MICROSmart RAM as described on

MICROSmart ROM or cleared from the RAM.
When the power is off, the temporarily changed preset values in the RAM are cleared and the original preset values are loaded.
