5.3 Change Tags
Each MOV has a Tag name associated with it to provide a user-friendly identification. These tags can be
edited by the user via the Change Tags screen (Figure 5-6).
Figure 5-6: Change Tag Name screen
The MOV Address indicates the MOV currently being edited. The arrows to the left and right of the MOV
Address allow the user to navigate between MOVs. The +10 and -10 buttons allow the user to rapidly skip
between MOVs.
In the center of the screen the MOV tag name is displayed. The Pos and Pos arrows allow the user to edit
different characters in the tag name. The Character + and Character - arrows allow the user to increase a
character, for example A to B to C or to decrease a character, C to B to A. In this manner, the user may
rapidly create custom tags for each MOV.
It is important to touch the “Save Tag” button before the user edits a different MOV or exits the screen.
“Save Tag” must be touched for each tag changed. Failing to touch “Save Tag” will result in loss of data.
