You can use one date variable in any message in any Run Mode.
Note
We recommend setting individual message attributes such as Display Line
and Scroll Message before typing in the words of the message. This allows
you to verify the placement of characters as you type them.
Pressing [CTRL][R] while editing a message runs the message you are
editing just as it would be displayed in the Run Mode except:
•
Message will not be put on Historical Events Stack
•
Time and Date are not put on Historical Events Stack
•
Special Messages cannot be run
•
[CTRL][V] and [CTRL][W] variable data will not be displayed in a
message. They are represented by asterisks (****)
•
[CTRL][X] Data Requests will be represented by underscores (_ _ _ _).
Values for Data Requests can be put into a message for testing using a
keyboard
•
Data cannot be returned via Remote I/O or RS-485 port
The Message Attribute Defaults apply universally to all messages when they
are created. (You can modify the message attributes for an individual
message by using
[CTRL][A] while editing that message.) The modifiable
message attributes you can control from the Online Editor appear below,
along with a brief description of their use.
