Information and Alarm Windows
Chapter 7

If no errors are found, all the alarm messages in the application file will be
deleted and replaced by the imported ones.
Exporting Text
Choose Export Message Text from the Alarm window’s Messages menu.
The Export Message Text window will open. This window is the same as
the Import Message Text window, except for the title.
When the window opens, the Select File field will show the name of the
application file currently being edited. The operator can keep the default or
change the name to any valid DOS file name. Once Select File is chosen
the filename area will be highlighted. If the displayed name is acceptable,
press Enter. An export of messages will be performed. You will be
informed if the file already exists in the current directory; the export will
not be performed until you choose Continue and answer Yes to “Overwrite
the Existing File?” PanelBuilder appends the .AMG extension when it
exports the file.
Editing Messages
Choose Messages from the Alarm window menu, then Select Message to
select a message for editing.
The messages you create are numerically ordered, and will appear in order
on the Messages screen. Each message has a 3 letter code in square
brackets after the number and before the first few words of the message.
The code is A for audio, P for printer, and R for relay, in that order. The
letters for the enabled functions appear, while disabled functions are
represented by a hyphen.
A message with audio and relay enabled would have the code [A–R], for
example, while a message with only the printer enabled would have the
code [–P–].
Alter the text or any parameter, in the Edit Message menu.
Deleting Messages
Choose Messages from the Alarm window menu, then choose Select
Message and the message to be deleted.
