Creating an Auto-polling Screen

For a new screen, the following display appears:

During operation, an Auto-pollng screen can display up to 21 lines of text and data items. A very simple screen is shown below.

To create a screen, enter the following on the first 21 lines of the file:

HText.

HA Data Display string for each data item that will appear on the Auto-polling screen.

These optional items are usually placed below the 21st line, so they will not be displayed:

HA Data Limits string for each item that will be assigned high/low limits.

HAn optional Color Setup Data and Logging Interval string.

The following pages explain how to enter formatting strings. Instructions for using the text editor are on page E-8.

Note: Don't use tabs while in the editor or your remote data will end up at the wrong place on the screen. Use spaces instead of the TAB key.
