6.5.10 Saving the MCN Screen File
When you are finished building your screen, you must save the MCN Screen File.
Tip: Before you save the file, it is a good idea to move the cursor over each
receiver on the screen and use the Channel Description field at the bottom of the
screen to verify the proper channel assignments.
Use the Files Save menu command to save your MCN Screen File.
If this is a new MCN Screen File, the File Save As dialog box will come up and
you will be prompted for a file name. Enter a standard DOS file name without the
extension. The program will save the file with an .MSF extension. You will get
an error message if you enter the wrong extension.
After you save a screen file, the file name will appear on the right side of the
menu bar.
6.5.11 Example
Using the system example shown in Figure 9 and the Group Configuration File
SYSTEM1.GCF that was created in section 6.4.9, we will now create a screen file
that can be used to monitoring and control of the system. To create this file, do
the following:
1. Execute the Files New Screen command, the cursor will start in
Group File 1
2. Press the E key to get the list of Group Configuration Files.
3. Using the arrow keys, position the highlighted bar on the file
SYSTEM1.GCF and press the E key to select the file.
4. Press the T key until the <OK> button is highlighted and press E
5. The Select Active Group File dialog box will appear with the file
name SYSTEM1.GCF in the top position.
6. Press the E key to select this as the active file.
7. Enter any Channel Titles that you want to help describe your system.
8. Place the receivers on the screen.
9. If your MCN HIB module has a model number S2-60081-xxx where
‘xxx’ is the number 200 or greater (this number is found on the rear of
the module), set the GROUP number rotary switches to 80 and the
MODULE number rotary switch to 0 (these switches are found on the
rear of the module. Skip to step 11.
