Precautions" and the basic operating procedures in the GX Developer Operating
Manual.

and Intelligent function module utility again.
(4) To start the Intelligent function module utility

When two or more Intelligent function module utility screens cannot be displayed
side by side, select a screen to be displayed on the top of others using the task
