Previous versions
Version 1.0 (NS-CXDC1-V1)
Version 6.5
The only function available was simulated
testing of Display Section screen opera-
tions on a personal computer.
Symbol names, addresses, and comments
were entered in symbol tables. Then the
required symbols were selected from the
symbol tables when creating screens.
The following two types of data transfers
are possible between CX-Designer (run-
ning on a personal computer) and the Dis-
play Section:
•Data transfers with the Display Section.
•With data transfers using a Memory Card,
data can be uploaded and downloaded by
any user.
Any of five levels of passwords could be set
for each functional object. A dialog box ask-
ing for the password was displayed each
time an attempt was made to use a func-
tional object for which a password had
been set, and the object could not be used
unless the password was input.
Not available.

Version 2.0 (NS-CXDC1-V2)
Version 6.6
Using a personal computer, a virtual Dis-
play Section can be connected to a virtual
Controller Section (CX-Simulator) to simu-
late NSJ Controller operation. This makes it
possible to reduce the total time involved in
debugging.
Symbol names and comments can be input
for symbol tables with no addresses. This
allows screens to be created using symbol
names without inputting addresses. Enter-
ing symbols in screen designs without
addresses makes it possible to reduce the
total time involved in design.
A password can now be set for creating
data. When data with a set password is
transferred to the Display Section, the
password is then required in order to
upload the data. This prevents users who
do not know the password from obtaining
that data from the Display Section. In addi-
tion, a password can be required to transfer
data to the Display Section. This prevents
data from being accidentally overwritten.
With the new version, once a user inputs
the password to use a functional object for
which a password has been set, a pass-
word does not have to be input again as
long as the user continues using only func-
tional objects for which the same or lower
level passwords have been set. (Functional
objects with a higher-level passwords can-
not be manipulated. A warning message
will be displayed if an attempt is made.)
This makes it possible to create applica-
tions that permit only the necessary opera-
tions by users who have entered a
password, and thus helps prevent faulty
operations.
Data in memory is treated as X and Y coor-
dinates, and straight lines are drawn
between the applicable coordinates to cre-
ate consecutive line drawing. This makes it
possible to handle applications involving
the drawing of various graphics in two-
dimensional space that could not be drawn
using the existing graph components.
