    Power Mate i-Model D/H
This utility cannot be used on FS15-B, FS15i, FS30i/31i/32i and Power Mate D/H.


==============================================================================
[3] Execution
==============================================================================

This utility uses the Data Window Library (FWLIB32.DLL, FWLIB160.DLL, 
FWLIB0i.DLL, FWLIB16W.DLL, FWLIBPMi.DLL) at run-time. 
So, confirm that these DLLs have been installed in your hard disk.

[4] Operation
==============================================================================

"Option Setup Utility" window shows the following items.
    Node         : Node number which is selected now.
    Path         : Path which is selected now.
    No.          : Parameter Number which is selected now.
    Current Value: Current value of the above parameter number.
                   When this value consists of bit data, this column shows all
                   8 bits.
    Input Value  : Edit box in order to input new data.

First you choose [Node], [Path], and [No.], then enter new data in
[Input Value] and click [Setting] button.
The new data which is entered in [Input Value] must be 8 figures or less, and
must be bit data when [No.] is 9920 or more, or WORD type data (between -32768
and 32767) when [No.] is smaller than 9920.

When you change CNC option setting, CNC system must be powered off and on to
make this change effective.
