Only one Special Data Display [Show CSV] can be placed per screen.
When you place a Special Data Display [Show CSV] on a Window Screen, you cannot edit the data. The editing screen cannot be triggered.
You cannot set a Special Data Display [Show CSV] at the same time as a Sampling Data Display or Data Display (a Numeric Display with [Allow Input] set or a Text Display).
You cannot update CSV data being displayed by transferring data from the device/PLC to the CF Card or USB Storage device. A write error is written to the [Status Address].
If the cover of the CF Card slot is open or the USB Storage device is removed while CSV file data is displayed, the display is cleared.
If the screen changes while CSV data is displayed, the display is cleared.
There are two valid data formats for CSV data displayed in a Special Data Display [Show CSV]. Data delimited by double quotation marks [""], and data separated by commas [,].

Only one Special Data Display [File Manager] can be placed per Base Screen. It cannot be placed on a Window Screen.
The Special Data Display [File Manager] cannot be scaled up or down.
When placing a Special Data Display [File Manager], specify the X coordinate in 4-dot increments. If you place it in a different position, it will not be displayed in the exact position it was on the screen in GP-Pro EX because the display unit corrects the display position.
You can display the Special Data Display [File Manager] part using a Special or Local Window. If the maximum number of windows are already displayed, the File Manager does not appear. Close other windows to display the [File Manager] display part.
12.8 Restrictions
When a text table changes, the Special Data Display - File Manager is closed.
If there is more than one display switch for a Special Data Display [File Manager], and if you touch another display switch while a File Manager is already displayed, the [File Manager] window that is currently displayed closes.
Files currently displayed on a Special Data Display - Show CSV cannot be deleted with a Special Data Display [File Manager].
If a full path (a folder name and a file name) exceeds 99 characters, files or folders may not be displayed correctly in the Special Data Display [File Manager].
If a file name or folder name contains a character after ASCII code 0x80, files or folders may not be displayed correctly in the Special Data Display [File Manager].
The Special Data Display [File Manager] display is dependent on the [System Settings] window's [Display Unit] page, [System Language] setting. Depending on the language, file names or folder names may not appear correctly. An error occurs if you transfer a file to a folder that is not displayed correctly or if you try to perform a file operation in that folder.
Restrictions for Editing
The editing screen for a Special Data Display [Show CSV] displays via a Special or Local Window. If the maximum number of windows are already displayed, the editing screen cannot be activated. Close another window before editing the data.
12.8 Restrictions
You can edit up to 56 characters in a Special Data Display [CSV Display]. This limit depends on the model and orientation.
While CSV data is being edited, you cannot transfer data from the device/PLC to the CF Card or USB Storage device. A write error is saved to the [Status Address].
When a text table changes, the editing screen will be automatically closed.
Even when the [Interlock Address] state matches the [Touch Enable Condition] during editing, editing can be performed. However, if editing is attempted again, the screen will not enter Edit mode because the Interlock feature is enabled.
Numeric values displayed on a Special Data Display [Show CSV] are displayed as text. Therefore, the inputs are edited regardless of properties such as the number of display digits, data length, and data type.
While the edited data is being output to a CSV file, printing and editing modes are disabled. Also, the system cannot be moved to off-line mode.
Regardless of the Show Column settings, the column portion cannot be edited.
When editing data, a temporary file is created on the CF Card/USB storage device. As a result, free space equivalent to the size of the file being edited must be available. You cannot edit the file if this capacity is not available.
When editing data, the internal processing updates the file as follows. For example, when editing "ZR00001.csv"
After pressing the [ENT] key, a temporary file (a file that reflects the editing results), "_CSV$$_0.tmp" is created.
The original file name is changed from "ZR00001.csv" to "_CSV$$_1.tmp"
"_CSV$$_0.tmp" is changed to "ZR00001.csv"
"_CSV$$_1.tmp" is deleted.
If the power turns OFF during editing or if editing fails, temporary files may remain on the CF Card/USB storage.
When a Special Data Display [Show CSV] is rotated by 90 or 180 degrees, the editing screen characters are not displayed properly. To place a rotated [Show CSV], set rotation to 0 or 270 degrees.
Restrictions for Printing
The horizontal lines are not printed.
Any portion that exceeds an A4 width is not printed. The number of characters that can be printed on one line depends on the printer.
Up to 160 characters can be printed in a single line. Any text exceeding 160 characters is cut off.
Regardless of the Show Column settings, the column portion will not be printed.
When printing only the displayed portion, if the data in the right most cell extends beyond the screen and is cut off on the Show CSV Display, that portion is also cut off on the printout.
While printing, the data cannot be edited or printed. Also, the system cannot be switched to off-line mode.
