When "32" is entered

Note 1: The current values displayed indicate the values in the positions in which
the active vertical cursor is located. Even when a reset is executed, the values in the
vertical cursor positions are displayed as the current values. When the vertical
cursor is not provided, the current values displayed indicate the actual current
values. The actual current values can be entered while the vertical cursor is not
displayed. In the monitor, the vertical cursor can be manipulated only when the
monitor is stopped.

Note 2: The vertical cursor can be used to change the ON/OFF status of contacts,
the current values and the preset values of devices.

Set No. of Scales for Timing Chart

Scales are provided at the top of timing charts. One scale indicates one scan while
scans are executed or one instruction while steps are executed.

By default, 32 scales are displayed on the screen. The number of scales can be set
anywhere between 1 and 511.
Timing charts are easier to view when you adjust the number of scales when the
interval between ON and OFF of contacts is short, for example.
To set the number of scales, perform the following procedure.

1. Select "Set No. of Scales for Timing Chart" from the "Settings" menu, or click the

button.

The "Set No. of Scales for Timing Chart" dialog box is displayed.

2. Set the number of scales between 1 and 511. The default value is 32.

Note: When scales cannot be displayed on the window because there are too many
scales, the message "Can’t write scales." is displayed. If this occurs, either widen
the window or reduce the number of scales.

The number of scales for timing charts is changed to the value entered.
