MATCH SCALE COLOR - Chart Prompts - Chart Configuration - Page 6-8
A choice for MATCH/SELECT prompts which specifies that the corresponding time line, time, or date and chart
tag should be in the same color as the scale, as the chart is being printed.
Minor time lines
Minor time lines are printed as a series of dots, with spacing greater than major time lines and extend from the
inner chart ring to the outer chart ring. Minor time lines are printed between major time lines, and the number of
minor time lines is one less than the number of MINOR TIME PERIODS specified in Chart Configuration.
MINOR TIME PERIODS - Chart Prompts - Chart Configuration - Page 6-8
Parameter that specifies the number of periods or sections each major time period shall be divided into. This also
corresponds to one less than the number of “minor time lines” printed, and indirectly, the time between them.
MOMENTARY - System Prompts - Configuration - Operator Inputs - Page 4-83
One of two choices for ACTUATION STYLE where the state must be active only momentarily, rather than continu-
ously. For example, for an Operator Input used to reset a totalizer: MOMENTARY would cause the total to be
reset when the ON/YES/1 choice was selected, but it would then begin to totalize again, as the actuator would
only reset it momentarily. CONTINUOUS, the other choice, would cause the total to be reset when the ON/YES/1
choice was selected, but it would remain reset until the OFF/NO/0 choice was selected, as the actuator would be
keeping it reset continuously.
NONE - JUST CONTINUE - Chart Prompts - Chart Configuration - Page 6-11
The choice for the parameter ACTION ON NEW CHART that does not print a range list or set of scales before it
begins recording trend data.
NONE/OFF
One of the list of actuators which is effectively no selection. This is the default or initial configuration for most
actuator parameters. It evaluates to false or 0.
Normal Display mode
The state the unit is in, relative to what’s in the display, when it is not in the Display Prompts, Chart Prompts, or
System Prompts. In this state, values and/or messages are being displayed, rather than prompts.
OFF STATE TEXT - System Prompts - Configuration - Operator Inputs - Page 4-83
Parameter that specifies the text that will be displayed at the left of the lower display when the Operator Input is
shown in the Display Prompts. When this choice is selected, the corresponding actuator (OP INP 1 through OP
INP 12) will be set to false. Typical text may be OFF, NO, STOP, STOPPED, HOLD, etc.
OMxx ACTUATOR - System Prompts - Configuration - Operator Messages - Page 4-87
Parameter that selects an actuator, which, when true, causes the specified Operator Message (1 through 12), to
be displayed per the Operator Message Display Mode setting.
OMxx DISPLAY MODE - System Prompts - Configuration - Operator Messages - Page 4-88
Parameter that specifies the method of displaying the operator message when it is actuated. The choices are
PREEMPT, PREEMPT TO CYCLIC, PREEMPT TO OFF, CYCLIC, and BACKGROUND.
ON STATE TEXT - System Prompts - Configuration - Operator Inputs - Page 4-83
Parameter that specifies the text that will be displayed at the right of the lower display when the Operator Input is
shown in the Display Prompts. When this choice is selected, the corresponding actuator (OP INP 1 through OP
INP 12) will be set to true. Typical text may be ON, YES, RUN, etc.
ON/CONTINUOUS
One of the list of actuators which is effectively no selection, but this choice evaluates to true, active or 1. This is
the default or initial configuration for a few actuator parameters, such as INSTR. ON ACTUATOR and ALARMS
ON ACTUATOR.
