MONOPOLIZE TIME (0-2550S)
Set Bit 7 of the System Data Area LS14 to ON to set monopolizing time.
This field controls the length of time for the monopolize process when no other
touch panel operations are performed. The Monopolize process ends when the
time set here elapses, and the 7th bit of word address LS14 turns OFF.
After cancelling GP TOUCH MONOPOLIZE, it will return to n:1 (multi-link)
communication.
•
Pressing the touch panel in the middle of the monopolize
process interrupts the MONOPOLIZE TIME function, and
ends exclusive use.
•
When MONOPOLIZE TIME is set to 0, the monopolize
function does not end automatically.
