3.3.3 ALTERING A DATAPOINT
The procedure in Table 3-3 illustrates how to alter the contents of data-
point C256, which is ANI0 Engineering Span, from 100 to 50. Figure 3-
10 is provided to show the maximum input character length for the
engineering mode edit line. The edit line can accept ten characters.
The full ten character field is used primarily for the A type datapoint
text strings (tag names). Reference Table 4-1 in Section 4 for informa-
tion about the datapoint types. Note that in Figure 3-10, the PO is resid-
ual from the prompt POINT and that the input character string has ten
Hs underlined in the figure to illustrate the data entry field.
