Each time the function key
CUSTOM
is pressed, screen display
sequentially switches from one screen to another. A conversational
macro program to be executed is selected according to the value of
the conversational macro execution control variable corresponding to
a selected screen.
The execution macro control variables are initialized to the values set
in compile parameter Nos. 9038, 9040, and 9041 when the power is
turned on.
A conversational macro program to be executed can be changed by
rewriting the conversational macro execution control variable. If a
conversational macro execution control variable is rewritten, the
character display and graphic display are erased and initialized after
execution of the program end instruction (M99 block) of the main
program of the conversational macro program being executed then a
new conversational macro program is executed.
If 0 is set in a conversational macro execution control variable, the
screen display returns to the screen displayed before selection of the
conversational macro screen.
If the value of a conversational macro execution control variable
remains unchanged, the same conversational macro program is
executed repeatedly. In this case, character display and graphic
display are not erased and initialized.
