5.8.3 Restrictions on specification
In this section, differences from C Executor on the ordinary FS30i are de-
scribed. You can regard the specifications which are not listed below as
same as on the ordinary FS30i with VGA display device. The following descrip-
tions are applied to PC side screen if no special comment. They runs on
FS300i with HSSB/Ethernet as same as the ordinary FS30i.
[*] mark which is added to "unavailable ..." etc. means that no error occurs
and nothing is done even if the function is used.
(1) It is impossible to start or terminate "CNCscrnApp" while C-EXE app-
lication inhibits screen changing. If starting or terminating "CNC-
scrnApp" is attempted during screen changing inhibition, the CNC
equipment goes hung-up and "CNCscrnApp" can't run newly on PC.
To recover this, it is required to restart both CNC equipment and PC.
(2) The screen is initialized by changing screen between CNC side and PC
side. At this time, all contents already displayed are cleared. So
the application program must redraw the screen.
(3) It is unavailable to access a memory card inserted in a memory card
slot of FS300i with PC. An error ("Memory card is not inserted.")
occurs if "aux_file_mount( 'B' )" is called.
(4) Overlapping method about text and graphics in 16-color graphics (in
which both text and graphics are displayed overlapping each other)
is different from the ordinary FS30i. "Composite" mode is not sup-
ported. [*] Only "Character over graphics" or "Graphics over charac-
ter" can be selected. The default mode if "Character over graphics".
crt_setpalette( _PAL_COMP, CRT_PAL_COMP ) unavailable
crt_setpalette( _PAL_COMP, CRT_PAL_CHAR ) available(default)
crt_setpalette( _PAL_COMP, CRT_PAL_GRPH ) available
(5) 256-color graphics is unavailable. [*] The following graphic modes
which select 256-color graphics can't be specified in
"_setvideomode()" function.
_98RES16COLOR, _98RES8COLOR, _98RESCOLOR, _VRES256COLOR
(6) Automatic key repeating is always effective for key-input from both
PC's keyboard and MDI keyboard while PC side screen is alive. (It is
independent of the application program setting.) While CNC side
screen is alive on FS300i with HSSB/Ethernet, whether automatic key
repeating is effective or not depends on the application program
setting.
(7) Customizing of MDI key for CNC's screen is unavailable. [*]
"aux_mdi_putmatrix()" or "aux_mdi_altmatrix()" functions take no
effect to CNC side key matrix.
