1The features of the GOT series and advantages of personal computer and panel
computer are available
(1) Interactive use with applications (including MELSOFT)
(a) Interactive use with GT Designer2.
Installation of GT SoftGOT1000 and GT Designer2 on the same personal computer allows
operations from screen creation to monitoring to be supported by a single personal computer.
Immediately after creating or modifying a screen on GT Designer2, the screen can be
monitored on GT SoftGOT1000. Therefore, design efficiency is improved greatly.
(b) Interaction with PX Developer
With interaction between GT SoftGOT1000 and PX Developer, monitor tool functions for PX
Developer can be called on GT SoftGOT1000.
GT SoftGOT1000 can also be started on PX Developer, and the functions can be shared.
For the monitor tool of PX Developer, refer to the following manual.

The monitor screen data is compatible.
A Windows application can be started up from GT SoftGOT1000.
Also, the data of GT SoftGOT1000 internal devices can be read/written from a user-created
application.
With interaction between GT SoftGOT1000 and a user-created application, the user can
control or manage data by own method.
(2) Flexible response to high-resolution
The user can select resolutions from UXGA to VGA and can set a resolution specification, which
sets a resolution dot by dot depending on applications.
GT SoftGOT1000 supports the following resolutions.
(a) Selectable resolutions
•UXGA (1600 1200 dots)• SXGA (1280 1024 dots)
•XGA (1024 768 dots)• SVGA (800 600 dots)
•VGA (640 480 dots)
(b) User setting
•X Y (Resolution specification) (1920 to 640 1200 to 480 dots)
2The monitor screen data created for the GOT1000 series is applicable to GT
SoftGOT1000.
The GT SoftGOT1000 uses monitor screen data created with GT Designer2.
By converting the GOT type for GT SoftGOT1000, the monitor screen data used for the GOT1000
series can be used without modification.
GT SoftGOT1000 uses the same screens and operations as GOT.
Therefore, there will be no discomfort or confusion for the operators and maintenance personnel.
