CoCo-80 Quick Reference

Creating a Route
Routes can be added to the CoCo to cover a variety of
conditions. Some machines may need to be monitored
occasionally and others may need to be watched closely.
The system allows the CoCo to have many different
customized Routes loaded for each situation.
A Route is a subset of a Factory, so it can not include
Machines in different Factories. If there are multiple
Factories (or the database is divided into multiple Areas),
moving from one Factory to another can be done easily in
EDM or on the CoCo. Click on the Add a Route button on
the toolbar or double-click an existing Route to open the
Edit Route dialog. Enter a name and description for the
Route.
Add a check mark next to each Point in the Customization
tab that is to be included in the Route. A Point can be
selected from the list and the buttons on the right are
used to change the order of a Route or remove one or all
Points from the Route. Points can also be arranged by
clicking on the Point and dragging it to the correct space
on the list.
