Although screen data for the NS5-MQ0[]-V2 is displayed in 16 grayscale levels on the CX-
Designer displays and the NS5-MQ0[]-V2 screen, the data will be displayed in color if it is
converted to data for a PT model with color displays on the CX-Designer or transferred to a PT
with a color display screen. The color codes that are used when creating the screen data for the
NS5-MQ0[]-V2 will be displayed for screen data and the image colors will be used for BMP and
JPEG data.
In order to change the main window size (Maximum Window Size) of the NS-Runtime after
converting the model into the NS-Runtime, change the setting from the Maximum Screen Size
Tab Page in the System Setting Dialog Box (PT Menu – System Setting). For further information,
refer to 3-2 System Settings
Always confirm the communications settings after conversion. Then change the settings
according to the operating environment. For the details on communications settings, refer to 3-3
Communications Settings.
Model Conversion from the NS-Runtime or NSA Series to the NS Series
The NS-Runtime has functionality not supported by the NS-series PTs. Therefore, the
settings of some functions will be changed when the model is converted. It may not be
possible to convert some functions depending on the settings. It that occurs, the conversion
process will be canceled.
