These window text specifications cannot be made from the front panel. You can
create and configure the label using the Windows-based control software (refer to
the software’s help file), SIS commands via the serial or LAN ports (see chapter 4,
“ Software Configuration and Control ”), or the MGP 464 or 462xi Web pages (see
“ Window Settings page ” in chapter 5, “HTML Configuration and Control”).
