Send message to the stack

When a message is triggered, enabling this attribute will put the message
number on the Historical Events Stack. Variables will also be placed on the
stack. Stacked messages can also be time stamped with the time the message
was triggered and/or run.

Important Even if AutoRepeat is enabled, the message number (and time)

will be put on the Historical Events Stack only once each time
the message is triggered and/or run rather than each time it
repeats.

The message number, variables, and time (if applicable)

will be put on the Historical Events Stack while the message is
running or repeating only when updates to variables are
received by the DL40

For more information on the Historical Events Stack and time stamping, refer
to the Bulletin 2706 Dataliner Message Display DL40 Series User Manual
(Publication 2706-807).

Hide message on display

When activated, the message will not appear on the DL40, but rather will be

destination(s).

change on the DL40 display when the message runs, although a copy of the
message will be printed and it will be displayed on the slave addressed as
