3. Restrictions on specification
In this section, differences from C Executor on the ordinary FS16i/18i are
described. You can regard the specifications which are not listed below as
same as on the ordinary FS16i/18i with VGA display device. The following
descriptions are applied to PC side screen if no special comment. They runs
on FS160i/180i with HSSB as same as the ordinary FS16i/18i.
[*] 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
application inhibits screen changing. If starting or terminating
"CNCscrnApp" 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 NC 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 an S-RAM card inserted in a memory card
slot of FS160i/180i with PC. An error ("Memory card is not
inserted.") occurs if "aux_file_mount( 'B' )" is called. It is
available to access an S-RAM card inserted in a memory card slot of
FS160i/180i with HSSB. If "DRIVE B:" is accessed while "CNCscrnApp"
is running on PC, an S-RAM card inserted in a memory card slot of
CNC equipment is read/written.
(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 FS16i/18i. "Composite" mode is not
supported. [*] Only "Character over graphics" or "Graphics over
character" 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.) Whether
automatic key repeating is effective or not while CNC side screen is
alive for FS160i/180i with HSSB depends on the application program
setting.
