Receiving the data
1) Click the [Receive] button. The "Transfer Data" data selection dialog box appears.
2) Select the data to be received. Before receiving it, check the data. (It takes time for all the data to be received. To test
receiving the data quickly, check [Character Data] or [Auto Display Data], and receive it.)
3) Click the [OK] button.
4) The progress display starts, and the selected data is received from the VG.
5) The layout data list is updated in accordance with the data which has been received.
(*) Bear in mind that since the layout data will be overwritten in accordance with the data which has been received,
some of the layout data being edited will be rewritten.
(*) Before receiving the data, check whether or not the data has been registered in the VG, and receive only data which
has been registered. The layout data is updated only on the basis of the numbers of the data registered in the VG.
Layout data with the numbers of the data not registered in the VG will not be updated, and their pre-reception
contents will remain unchanged. Therefore, to create new layout data by data reception, the first step to be taken is to
specify a new file by performing the steps for selecting a layout data file or clear the layout data being edited.
(*) Precaution when groups are to be received separately
Groups are managed in the VG by program data numbers, and these numbers are received also when the data is
received from the VG. If layout data has been used, steps are taken to ensure that the program data numbers
correspond to the program files on the basis of the layout data information. A correct correspondence will be
established if the layout data of a program matches what has been registered in a program inside the VG. If they do
not match, the program name and program file will not be found, and data will not be saved in the file. This means that
the program data number and program name will not be displayed even when the group contents are checked using
the group editing program. To ensure that this problem does not occur, before receiving groups, either receive a
program or select the layout data setting which does not call for the layout data to be used.
