box in [Operation Lock].

[Timeout] window to enter how many seconds to count down until the
other display unit or GP-Viewer EX screens are unlocked after the
last touch on the enabled display unit or GP-Viewer EX screen.
Security feature
You can restrict access to GP-Viewer EX by adding security to
display screens or individual features. In the following example,
security is set up for screen data operations run from a computer.
Level 1 users can display screen data, and Level 15 users can
display and operate screen data.

Each Feature] check box, you can define which functions are
permitted at each security level set in procedure 2 above.
