2.8.3. Operation methods

(1)Loading the file

Before creating new auto display data, proceed with "Creating and editing the auto display data" in (2) below.

The auto display data is loaded from a file in which it was saved.

1) Click the [Load] button. The "Load File" file selection dialog box now appears.

2) Select the file, and click the [OK] button. The auto display data of the selected file is now displayed on the [Auto

Display] auto display data list.

(2)Creating and editing the auto display data

1) Select the program data to be set from the [Program in Layout] program data list.

2) Before proceeding any further, select the line on the [Auto Display] auto display data list to be set for registering the

data.

3) Click the [

←] button, and register the selected program data on the [Auto Display] line selected.

To clear the auto display data, click the [Clear] button or [All Clear] button.

4) Set the number of interval seconds in [Interval].

(*) If no data files in the layout have been loaded, no programs are displayed in [Program in Layout]. Input and set

only the program data numbers. As above, select the line in [Program in Layout], and click the [

←] button. Only the

program data number is now set. Alternatively, use the mouse to click the [No.] field of the auto display data list

where the program data number is to be input. The number can now be keyed in.

(*) In registering the auto display data, set the program data for both [Start] and [End]. Set the program data from the

top without leaving any gaps. (In other words, do not enter a setting for [Start] or [End] only or leave any blank lines

between data settings.)

(3)Saving the file

The displayed data is saved in the file.

Click the [Save] button.

⇒ The data is saved in the selected file and any existing data in that file is overwritten.

Click the [Save As] button.

⇒ The data is saved in a new file.

(*) The auto display data name can be set by inputting it into [Name] of the "Auto Display Editor." This name is stored

in the file but it will not be sent to the VG.

(4)Sending the auto display data

When the [Send] button is clicked, the sending of the auto display data is started. The name which was input in

[Name] is stored in the file but it will not be sent to the VG.

(5)Receiving the auto display data

Click the [Receive] button. The auto display data is now received. [Name] is cleared since the name of the auto

display data is not registered in the VG.

(*) When auto display data is received from the panel ROM (HN58C65P only), it has a 2-digit number.

Auto display data can be received using an old VG model but they cannot be sent to one.
