Whether you are modifying an existing event or creating a new one is determined solely by

TIP the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number, a new event instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated event will be modified.

2.If you are creating a new event, use the Index field to assign a unique, currently unused index number to identify the event. Clicking on the Index button will automatically assign the lowest available number; you can also click directly in the text box and assign any value you want between 1 and 1,999 and 5,000 and 65,534 (indices 2000 to 4999 are reserved and unavailable).

NOTE

Clicking on the Index button to select the next available index number will replace the current Owner string with the default value; if the default value is in already in place, the date and time will be updated.

If you wish to modify an existing event, enter the appropriate index value, or double-click on the event of interest in the Events Watch list (in the main Alarm/Event window).

Remember, the only thing that determines whether you are modifying an existing event or

TIP creating a new one is the assignment of the index number; be sure to assign this value appropriately.
