In each category, highlight the data point(s) you want to use and then click on the top

button in the middle column to move your choices to the “Selected data points” list on the

right. If you make a mistake, you can highlight the data point you don’t want and click the

middle button to remove it from the list.If you decide you are not happy with the list, you can

erase it completely to start from scratch by clicking the bottom of the three buttons.

Once you have the list assembled, you can rearrange the order of the data points by clicking on

the four arrows to the right. The top and bottom arrows will move the selected data points to

the top or bottom of the list respectively. The middle two buttons will move them up or down

one level.

Linking Custom Voice messages to Data Points

Click on the first data point in the righthand list and a new area called Voice Status Item,

containing two boxes, will appear on the bottom of the Status UAFs screen. To the left is a

checkbox marked “Use custom voice message.” Check this box if you want to use one of the

user-recordable messages as part of the status message for this data point. If you check it, then

either scroll through or type in the appropriate number for the “Custom Voice Number” on

the right.
Go to the next data point in the list you want to link with a custom message, and repeat the

process, until you have set all of your data points and their messages.
When you have the list compiled, click on the Commit button.
Next click on the Custom Voice tab to bring up the Custom Voice Message Information screen.

Figure 6: Custom Voice Tab

This list is generated automatically from the custom messages you have assigned on the Status

UAFs screen and from the Alarm Notification screen. Up to 64 messages can be listed here,

from 0–63.

Note: Message #64 (or message #32 if you choose the 32 messages option) is the

recordable ID Message that the SCADA 3000 recites at the beginning of any sta-

tus report to identify the RTU.

Type in a brief description for each one to identify status/alarm messages in order to help you

record them. Thus, Description 0 might read "Refrigeration Unit One," and Description 1

might be "One-hour average temperature", a C-program calculation. Once you've typed in

the list of messages in order, you can print this list and use it as your guide for the next step—

recording your custom messages.
What you type here does not have to match verbatim what you plan to say—it’s merely a means

of noting what the message represents.
Once you have your list, then record your custom messages.
