23.
At the top level of your database, double-click on the
ST (State Table) block to open it.
The State Table is required to provide text
representation of the reset command
(which in the instrument is “1” or
“0”…not very meaningful to an operator).
24.
Select the Tables tab and scroll to the bottom of the
list of tables.
It does not matter where the tables are
added; however, be sure not to embed
them within an existing State Table. It is
usually best to add State Tables to the end
of the file.
25.
Add the following script to the BOTTOM of the list
of State Tables:
Clear, 3, “???”
{
1, “YES”;
0, “NO”;
}
Clear is the table name
3 is the maximum number of characters to
be displayed for the field in this table.
The question marks will be shown on the
display in the event the value is neither 1
nor 0.
