ログラム設定されればよい。Next, whether the main body 1 is installed vertically as shown in FIG. 1A or horizontally as shown in FIG. 1B, the display means 2 is mechanically operated by the selecting means 4. The reason why the display in the easy-to-see direction can be obtained without rotating it will be described. As described above, the display control means 3 controls the display unit 2 in a plurality of display modes so that at least the display modes of the time display as a whole are at right angles to each other. This is the display control means 3
The display directions of the display unit 2 may be determined so that the display modes of the time display as a whole are at right angles to each other so that the display unit 2 can be controlled to a plurality of display modes.
In this case, the functions required for the display control means 3 may be appropriately programmed. As a result, FIG.
The time display of FIG. 1 and the time display of FIG. 1B are respectively obtained. In order to achieve such a display mode, the display mode in the easy-to-see direction is selected while operating the selecting means 4 to change the direction of the display mode. Should be displayed. Body 1
However, the horizontal installation state that is upside down from FIG.
A vertically installed state in which it is upside down from that of (A) is also conceivable, and in such a case, it is sufficient that the selection unit 4 can obtain a display that is easy to see. That is, the display control means 3 is the display unit 2
There are at least two display modes as a whole of the time display,
The program may be set so that control can be performed in three or four directions.

で、表示態様を見ながら選択することになる。Next, whether the main body 1 is installed vertically as shown in FIG. 1A or horizontally as shown in FIG. 1B, the display means 2 is mechanically operated by the selecting means 4. The operating modes 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and the selecting means 4 as a whole can be visually arranged in the same manner without rotating the operating points 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and the selecting means 4. Explain why there is no discomfort. As described above, the arrangement control means 6 allows the operation points 5a, 5b, 5 on the operation plate 5 to be operated.
c, 5d and the selecting means 4, which also serves as one operating point, may be controlled in a plurality of arrangement modes such that the overall arrangement modes form a right angle with each other. In this case, the functions required for the placement control means 6 may be appropriately programmed. As a result, the respective operation point arrangements shown in FIG. 1A and the operation point arrangements shown in FIG. 1B are obtained. To select such arrangement mode, the selection means 4 capable of selecting the display mode is operated. By doing so, it is only necessary to change the direction of the arrangement at the same time so that the arrangement does not feel uncomfortable. The arrangement control means 6 may be programmed so that the arrangement of the respective operation points as a whole can be controlled in two, three, or four directions. Of course, since the arrangement mode itself cannot be visually recognized, selection is made while observing the display mode.

d and function display modes a, b, c, d, e of the selection means 4
Explain why you can make it easier to see. This is because the function setting program of the display control means 3 determines the direction of each of the function display modes so that the function display modes a, b, c, d and e as a whole form a right angle with each other, and a plurality of function display modes are obtained. It only has to be controllable. This is the display control means 3
The functions required for the above may be appropriately programmed together with the above-mentioned time display function and the like. Then, the selecting means 4 may select and display any one of the function display modes which are easy to see. Of course, the above-mentioned time display function and the like are also changed in direction at the same time, so it is advisable to select while watching the large time display function. By the way, FIG. 1A shows a function display mode when the main body 1 is installed vertically.
(B) is a function display mode when the main body 1 is installed horizontally. Further, it is needless to say that control may be performed in three or four function display modes.

The arrangement mode is fixed on the operation plate 5, and the arrangement mode may be visually different depending on the installation direction of the main body 1. However, even in this case, the display control means 3 is provided so that the function display modes a, b, c, d, e of the operation points 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 4 can be easily seen by operating the selection means 4 at the same time. The display unit 2 is operated at the operation point 5 on the operation plate 5.
a, 5b, 5c, 5d, a plurality of function display modes a, b, c, which are located immediately below or in the vicinity thereof and which form a right angle with each other.
It is better to control to d and e. This is not a relationship in which the plurality of function display modes form a right angle with each other as described above, but a relationship in which the function display modes a, b, c, d, and e form a right angle with each other. Further, it is needless to say that control may be performed in three or four function display modes. The selection means 4
It is also possible to reduce the number of operation points by providing the same function as the operation of the selecting means 4 by operating the operation points 5a and 5b at the same time, instead of independently providing.

In the same manner, at least the time display can be displayed in a direction that is easy to see without the time. Further, as described above, the display control means 3 controls the display section 2 into a plurality of function display modes a, b, c, d which are located in the vicinity of the operation sections A, B, C, D and which are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, by operating the selection means D, the function display modes a, b, c, d of the display unit 2 can be selected simultaneously with the above-mentioned time display, and the function display can be made easy to see. This is also the display control means 3
The functions required by the above may be programmed appropriately. Further, similarly to the first embodiment, it is of course possible to control the time display mode / function display mode of three or four types.

Control is performed in a plurality of function allocation modes so that the function allocation modes of the respective operation units A, B, C, and D are at right angles to each other. A function allocation control unit 8 is provided, and one of the function allocation modes is selected by the selection unit D, and the display control unit 3 positions the display unit 2 near each of the operation units A, B, C, and D as a whole. This is different from the second embodiment in that a plurality of function display modes a, b, c and d forming a right angle are controlled, and any one of the function display modes is selected and displayed by the selection means D. That is, in the second embodiment, when the installation direction of the main body 1 is different, the arrangement of the operation units A, B, C, and D is rotated and the position is visually changed, but in the third embodiment, the selection unit D is used. It is possible to visually make the function allocation modes of the respective operation units A, B, C and D the same, and
The operation of C and D does not feel uncomfortable, and the function display modes a, b, c and d of the operation units A, B, C and D can be easily seen. Again, such functions required for the function allocation control means 8 and the display control means 3 may be programmed appropriately. In this way, the function allocation mode / function display mode of each operation unit shown in FIG. 3A and the function allocation mode / function display mode of each operation unit shown in FIG. Can be selected simultaneously with the time display of. Of course, since the function allocation mode itself cannot be visually recognized, it is necessary to select while watching the function display mode. However, since the above-mentioned time display is also changed in direction at the same time, it is preferable to select while watching a large time display. In addition, Example 1
Similarly to the above, it is of course possible to control to three or four time display modes / function allocation modes / function display modes.
