RSView32 User’s Guide

Example: Message placeholders

An out–of–alarm message like this:

\11D \8T Tag \10N is out of alarm.

is displayed like this:

03/09/97 11:45:00 Tag PUMP3 is out of alarm.

Do not give placeholders too much space, or your messages might not
fit in the alarm log. In the example above, the tag name has 10 spaces
(\10N).

User default messages

The user default messages are messages you create to replace the
system default messages. To create these messages, select the User
Msgs tab in the Alarm Setup editor and type a message in some or all
of the fields. Your message can say whatever you want, and can use
both words and placeholders. For a list of placeholders, see page 6-37.
