3-5 Using Expansion Memory Boards
This section provides details on Expansion Memory Boards that are used with NS-series
PTs.
When using the NS10 or NS12, the volume of screen data can be increased by installing an
Expansion Memory Board in the PT. (Expansion Memory Boards cannot be used with the
NS7.)
Note
· Always turn OFF the power to the PT before installing or removing the Expansion Memory
Board. Install the Expansion Memory Board securely according to the installation method.
· Do not touch the patterned surface or the mounted section of the Board with your bare
hands.
· Always discharge any static electricity from your body before handling the Board.
The NS12 and NS10 are provided with a 4-Mbyte memory for screen data. Use an Expansion
Memory Board if the total volume of screen data exceeds 4 Mbytes.
The NS7 is provided with an 6-Mbyte memory for screen data. The Expansion Memory Board
cannot be used with the NS7, so make sure that the total volume of screen data does not ex-
ceed 6 Mbytes.
The data size can be checked from the NS-Designer by selecting Resource Report from the
Tools Menu.
Reference

as follows:
