2.1 GT Panel System Menu Overview
By touching the GT panel screen in a certain pattern, you call up the system menu. This menu
allows you to:

adjust the screen's brightness and contrast

set the Tool port and COM port communication settings

set the GT internal clock (if available)

clear the memory (see p. 62)

check the DIP switch settings

check the LCD (see p. 64)

test the backlight and buzzer (see p. 64)

set the GT unit no. (see p. 61)

copy SD memory card contents from/to a GT unit (see p. 66)

make Ethernet port settings

perform FP monitoring, e.g. reading and setting registers

etc.

What appears on the system menu and how the items are arranged depends
on the GT model.

When the system menu is displayed, the GT does not communicate with
PLC.

If you are using general-purpose serial communication, the GT is controlled
by commands from external devices such as a PLC. The GT continues to
receive commands and to write to internal devices even when the system
menu is launched. However, while the system menu is displayed, the GT
cannot perform the operations assigned to the internal devices.
