*1.With LCD-type CPU Units, the system software version can be read by selecting Other/System information from the menu. With "-V2" CPU Units, "V03.00" will be displayed as the system software version.

*2.The setting for a display bit (D) will appear as follows:
If "DAT1: day/month" is set for display, the LCD display will show T# and the display function will not operate.
If "C (clear)" is set, the LCD display will appear as
[--| |-----------0D0] and the display function will not operate.
Note: The above operations were not supported in ZEN versions prior to 1.1.

*3.When reading out the program from the ZEN, the following items will be determined based on the display function (D) settings contained in the program.
If "DAT1: day/month" is set, CHR (character designation) will be set.
If "C (clear)" is set, the display function (D) will be deleted from the program.
Note: The above operations were not supported by ZEN Support Software versions lower than 2.0.

*4.Cannot be used with 20-point CPU Units.
Restricted to use within the memory area range of Pre-V1 CPU Units.
