DISPLAY INTERFACE BLOCK
Remote display input: (See attribute 60 description.)
A count type input can be made to REMDISP, or it can be a local (internal) value or not
used. Writeable only if local. Value should be <= the number of displays in display list
(index number of a tag name from the display list), and will be ignored otherwise. When a
remote or local input is present, normal front face navigation via the tag key is disabled.
This is an override display which will prevent scrolling through any other displays on the
instrument front face. It is controlled using index numbers that are associated with the
order of display tags listed in the display list (index number is 1 for the first display tag
listed, index number 2 is for the second tag and so forth (index number 0 is used for the
Device Display). If the input has a value of 0 you will be taken to the device display and
you will need to press the TAG key to return to the user displays before the remote display
input can change user displays.
Display tag list
A display list is a list of Display block tags, each enclosed in double quotes and terminated by
a semi-colon. Comments may also be included in the list. Comments begin with the
characters /* and end with the characters */, and all characters in between are part of the
comment.
Example Display List, with optional comments.
"TIC-101"; /* Temperature - Section A. */
"TIC-102"; /* Temperature - Section B. */
"TIC-103"; /* Temperature - Section C. */
Display List Rules
• Each Display block tag entered in the Display List must be defined in some Display block.
• A Display block tag entered for Power Up Display must also appear in the Display List.
• The Display List is checked for proper syntax.
• The Display List determines the order in which displays are presented. Use the up and
down arrows to change the order.
