System Parameters
• This window allows you to edit various system parameters as
described below.
Video control
• High Intensity. Set to either True or False. For most systems con-
taining a CGA monitor or better (as Watlow-Anafaze recom-
mends), set to True. For some LCD or monochrome displays the
cursor display and prompt display may not appear correctly. In this
case, set to False.
• Video Access. Set to either Direct access or BIOS access. Direct
access allows fast screen displays but produces “snow” on some
CGA video systems. BIOS access prevents “snow” but is slower.
Alarm display screen
• Auto Switch. Set to On or Off. When on, the screen automatically
switches to the View Alarms screen whenever a new alarm condi-
tion occurs. This calls maximum attention to a new alarm, and Wat-
low-Anafaze recommends automatic switching for normal
operation. When setting up a new process or for a short time, when
the process is first started, you may set automatic switching to Off.
The large alarm block will still indicate by flashing each new alarm,
but the system will not automatically switch to the alarm screen.
• Audible Alarm. Set to On or Off. When on, the computer emits an
audible warning for each new alarm.
