3.4.3 ALTERING A DATAPOINT
The procedure in Table 3-3 illustrates how to alter the contents of data-
point C175, which is ANI2 Alarm Limit 1, from 80 to 90. Figure 3-10 is
provided to show the maximum input character length for the engineer-
ing 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 information about the
datapoint types. Note that in Figure 3-10, the PO is residual from the
prompt POINT and that the character field string starts with 1 and ends
with 0 (underlined in the figure) to illustrate 10 characters.
