Stack Message
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

Stack Time

the Historical Events Stack.

Hide message
When activated, the message will not appear on the DL40, but rather will be
sent to a slave display, printer, tape recorder, or placed on the Historical
Events Stack. The other attribute settings for the message determine its
destination(s).
For example, assume Hide message is enabled, as are Print message and
Send to slave 2 . There will be no 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
2 .
Note: When used with [CTRL][X] (ASCII Input Data), the underscore
prompt for this data will still be displayed on the DL40 message display even
when
Hide message is active.
