GT Designer2 cuts drawing time approximately by half compared to that of
GT Designer by using new functions, Workspace, Property sheet and etc.
The number of mouse clicks has also reduced.
GT Designer2 offers high-performance operability including easy menu
configuration, multi language support, and more intuitive operator control.
Screen data created on GT Designer can be used on GT Designer2 so that
the resources can be fully utilized.
Main features of GT Simulator2
The GOT-A900 series screen can be simulated on a
personal computer to debug the screen. If the screen
needs to be modified as a result of debugging, it can be
done with GT Designer2 and the result can be checked
with GT Simulator2 immediately, so debugging time
can be reduced drastically.
GT Designer is a drawing software package for all
GOT900 series, and can be used for drawing with the
GOT-A900 and GOT-F900 series.
Refer to page 59 for purchasing the GT Designer2.

standard operability and menu configuration
3. Data compatibility with GT Designer
Device value changes are displayed during simulation of a created sequence program
with GT Simulator2 and GX Simulator (ladder logic test tool).
The device value change function of GT Simulator2 can be used to change device
values forcibly and check screen display changes.
The input to a touch switch is simulated by clicking on the touch switch on GT
Simulator2 with the mouse.
The result of input to the touch switch can be confirmed by a display change on GT Simulator2,
the device monitor screen on GX Simulator, or the ladder monitor of GX Developer.
Using GT Simulator2, base and window screens can be saved as a bitmap format.
This helps finish the complete operation manuals in short time.
GT Simulator2 allows users to monitor images just as they appear in the software. This
incorporates users application requirements in the debugging of drawing development
and reduces editing time later.
