When a lamp is overlapped with a memory table display
The guide display message for a lamp is a fixed character-string. If you want to
change the lamp guide display in accordance with some condition, overlap the dis-
play area of a numeral memory table or character-string memory table with the
lamp. However, note that -- as shown below -- different results will be achieved
depending on the timing of the lighting of the lamp and the updating of the memory
table. Bear this in mind when creating the control program.
