        <Start-up>
          - When you logged in Windows 2000 and Windows XP with the "User"
            authority, Editor did not start normally.
        <Picture Display>
          - The picture display size was changed to the specified default one.
        <Parts>
          - Depending on the Meter Graph's size, the starting position of the
            scale and that of the needle did not match.
          - In the placement of Text Alarm, an unused window control address was
            displayed in the Text Alarm dialog when Cross Reference was checked.
          - When the user-created switch/lamp was rotated, the transparent
            processing disabled.
          - Upper and Lower Limit ranges could not be set normally for the data
            display.
          - Address information was not shown in the address view during
            simulation when window parts were set to "Address".
          - When a project file and a project-converted file that had been 
            created using the old version were opened in GP-Pro EX, the needle of
            the meter graph was not displayed.
        <Preview>
          - The call target screen did not appear in the window during preview.
          - In AGP-3200T or ST3000 Series:
            The display color was different between Preview and GP/Simulation.
        <Alarm>

            tab of the "Regional Options" dialog box in Windows "Control Panel".
          - When "32 Bit" was specified for "Bit Length" in D-Script, writing
            "break" in the loop statement caused abnormal operation.
          - Selecting the "Sign +/-" check box for specific instructions in
            D-Script resulted in the error.
        <Drawing>
          - The drawing area of the call target screen became larger than that
            of the call source screen.
          - When "2" or higher was specified in "Line Thickness" for a rectangle
            and then the data was transferred to GP, the shadow was not
            displayed.
        <Edit Operation>
          - Parts that can be converted into a text table could not be done so
            if they were grouped.

            hang-up occurred.
          - When a Write error occurred to Device/PLC in WDT (Watchdog Timer)
            Settings, an error was not displayed for each specified time.
          - Using the Save Data feature to attempt to save alarm history data might
            cause the GP to freeze during the transition to the offline mode.
          - The same active alarm was issued two or more times.
        <Switch>
          - When the [ENT] key was touched in no input status, Reverse Display
            was not performed.
          - Closing the window screen by the bit operation using the momentary 
            switch caused the buzzer to keep sounding.
          - In the momentary switch with OFF Delay, a bit was turned off before
            the specified delay time.
        <Picture Display>

            was not used, the Write error to Device/PLC occurred.
          - When the value exceeding the specified SRAM size was set in Sampling
            Group Settings, hang-up occurred.
        <Historical Trend Graph>
          - Scrolling made the data redraw processing slow. At this time,
            communication also became slow temporarily.
          - "**:**" was displayed for the oldest time on the Time Display
            settings for a moment.
          - When "Float" was specified, an alarm was not operated normally.

            Viewer was enabled and disabled.
          - Historical Trend Graph was not displayed on Window Screen normally.
          - Continuous typing of the historical data display switch in the 
            historical trend graph caused the historical data display switch 
            reverse display and the historical display status to be different.
        <Data Block Display Graph>
          - When "32 bit Bin" was specified for Data Type:

            Display was displayed using Call Screen, the display position was
            shifted from the correct position.
        <Screen Change>
          - When Logic Monitor (or Ladder Monitor) was running with BCD
            specified for Screen Number, an inappropriate value was written in
            Change-To Screen.
          - When Touch Input was conducted in LT3000 Series and GP3000 Series
            (except for GP-3200 Series), a communication error with PLC occurred.
            WhenScreen Change was executed in this error status, the touch input
            after the Screen Change became disabled.
          - When Screen Change or Window Display was executed, a lamp display
            blinked for a moment.
          - When Screen Change was executed in GP-3300 seriesiBefore Rev.*-4j

            saying that CF card and USB storage data had an error was displayed.
        <Operation Log>
          - Hang-up occurred after the initial screen was displayed when the
            following steps were taken:
            (1) SRAM was used for both Operation Log and Alarm History.
            (2) Operation Log used up the SRAM free space.
            (3) Alarm History transferred the project that could not secure the
                SRAM to GP.
          - When the indirect address was specified in Data Display, the address
            to be output to the Operation Log was inappropriate.

            from standby, untouched switches were operated.
        <Error Message>
          - Although the appropriate values were entered for number of address
            and parts in "Screen Information" of Editor, an error saying that
            the maximum limit was exceeded was displayed in transfer.
        <Offline>
          - The input limit for the port number of Web Server was different from
            that for Editor. (It has been changed to "1 to 65535" to be the same
            as the one for Editor.)
          - The setting ranges for "Brightness", which were on the "Video

     4 Project Converter
        - In GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows:
          When the screen where switches had been placed was converted and
          transferred to the main unit, some colors for them disappeared.
        - In GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows:
          When the screen where the R tag/J tag had been placed was converted,
          the parts disappeared.
        - In GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows:
          When the screen where more than the specified size of the image files
          had been compressed was converted and transferred to the main unit, it
          did not operate normally.
        - When the project file where null text had been imported was converted
          in GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows, shutdown occurred.
        - When "Align Center" was specified for the text on the parts label
          specified in GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows, the normal conversion could not
          made.
        - In converting the LT TypeA/TypeB/B+ project:
          Although the I/O variable types (Word/Bit) were different between the
          input and the output, the conversion was made to the same variable
          type for them.
        - In GP-Pro/PBIII for Windows:
          When a project including a blank text screen with a multi language was
          converted and then opened using Editor, GP-Pro EX shut down.
        - When "GP2501S" was specified for "Display" and a project was converted,
          an inappropriate color setting was enabled.

     5 Movie Converter
        - When converting format from SDX to another, an exceptional error might
          occur depending on the settings.
        - A movie file which could be converted could not be recognized as a
          movie file under certain circumstances.
        - An existing file was deleted unexpectedly when you stopped converting
          after having started it under the overwrite setting.
        - If you entered an out-of-range value in the image settings under the
          default settings, the value might not be able to be modified and might
           remain abnormal.
        - If you changed the image type in the image settings under the default
          settings, the frame rate and the bit rate were set to be blank.
        - Start/End of conversion might not be recorded in the Log.

     6 Win GP
        <Switch>
          - Even when the active window was changed using keys such as [Alt]+Tab
            keys with the momentary switch held down in WinGP, the switch
            remained held down.
        <Data Parts>
          - On WinGP (Simulation), the maximum value in the Input Range of Float
            Data Display with Input could not be entered normally. 
        <Offline>
          - When WinGP started on Windows Vista and shifted into the offline mode,
            "Windows Longhorn" was displayed for the OS version.
        <Script>
          - The SIO operation function did not run normally.

     7 GP-Viewer EX
    =======V1.10.100============================================================
          - When GP-Viewer EX V1.10.000 is installed in the PC where 
            GP-Viewer EX V1.00 has been installed, the manual and ReadMe 
            are deleted.
          - When a low value was specified for "Timeout" in Operation Lock and 
            a heavy load was constantly applied to the CPU, the continuous
            high-speed operation might cause an error in GP-Viewer EX,
            which did not allow you to operate the connected master and the slave. 

    =======V1.10.000============================================================
          - Forced screen change was not supported.
            Even if forced screen change was enabled, changing screens by touch
            from the Viewer is available.
          - At high communication speeds, changing multiple bits ON and OFF may
            not be recognized by the Viewer.
            The Viewer also may not recognize screen changes at high
            communication speeds.
            As a result, the Viewer may display different data from the server
            or reproduces a sound but it recovered on a screen change.
          - When communication error occurred in a PLC, the Viewer stopped
            displaying the values of the other PLCs that were operating normally.
          - In the "Update Data in Storage" dialog, specifying "All Folder" in
            "Image Data" does not enable the Viewer to load all the image files
            in Storage.
            For all the image files in Storage to be loaded, you should leave
            the "Folder (includes subfolders)" blank and press OK button.
          - When "Update Data in Storage" was executed, the display of security
            level looked as if it had been changed (actually the security level
            wasn't changed).
          - In the Banner Message feature, the same message was displayed twice
            consecutively.

    =======V1.00.200============================================================
          - When a device/PLC was assigned to "System Area Start Address", it
            was unable to write to part of the PLC device.
          - When GP Viewer EX was obtaining the SRAM data, the display unit went
            into the offline screen and then went back to the online screen
            without changing the settings, GP Viewer EX did not obtain the data
            in the subsequent processings.

    =======V1.00.100============================================================
          - In the Sampling Settings, Mode tab, if you used the Data Full Bit
            Address or the Block Completed Bit Address, each bit turned on twice
            in a row as the condition is satisfied.
          - Even if screen synchronization was set up, when you use Group with
            Auto OFF in the Bit Switch group function, upon exiting GP-Viewer EX
            the Auto Off operation was run.
          - When a data read/write was made at high speeds by the operations
            below, the CPU utilization went up and the application might become
            the no-response condition or an application error might occur.
            - In Word Switch, select "Add Data", "Subtract Data" etc. and
              check "Continuous Add Feature". When you kept clicking the switch
              on the screen, the CPU utilization went up.
            - With "Read Data From Each Alarm" enabled, change the triggered
              devices at the same time to read a large number of devices at a
              time.
