Creating Message Files

Publication 2706-6.2

Attributes define how a message appears when triggered in the Run
Mode. Message Attribute Defaults are automatically assigned to a
message when it is created. Using the Offline Programming
Software, change the Message Attribute Defaults (as described later
in this chapter), or change the attributes for individual messages after
they are created.

Use Messages→Modify Message Attributes to change the message
attributes for one or more existing messages. Current attributes can
be default message attributes or message attributes selected with
[CTRL][A].

When you select Modify Message Attributes, the Message
Selection/Message Picks window opens. All message numbers in
the current file will appear in the Message Selections column. To
move a message from the Message Selections column to the
Message Picks column, press

[

]

.

After you accept your message picks, the Message Attribute window
opens. Use the arrow keys to highlight the attribute you want to
change and press

[

]

. You will be able to select the new attribute

value from a list, or enter a number. Press

[

]

apply the new

attribute. An explanation of each message attribute is provided on
the next page.

When you have finished choosing attribute settings, move the cursor
to Quit and press
