Text inserts contain several text objects which are printed one after each
other.
To add a new text insert to the message:

you require the item to appear. A cross hair will appear at this location.
• Select the Add icon.
• From the sub-menu select the Add Text icon.
• Select +Variable >+Create New > Text Insert.
• Enter a name or use the default name for the object.

text objects).

OEM Select - Causes the marking of a text insert based on a binary
representation placed on the OEM Select port.
Timer - Causes the change of marking a text insert after a fixed elapsed
time in seconds.
Trigger - Causes the increment of a text insert using either a printstart
trigger or user input as chosen in the “trigger” option.
Level - Causes the marking of a text insert based on the state of the
selected input. If the selected user input state is active, the insert will be
marked. Otherwise, its place will be filled with space characters.
Depending on the Mode selection chosen, the following parameters will
need setting:
Increment Interval - Time interval between each insert line.
Trigger Timer - Triggers the insert line by using either a printstart signal or
user input (rising and falling edge signals).
Input - Selects which user input signal is used (not for printstart).

Auto Repeat - Number of insert repeats before the insert will increment.

length of the text inserts when fixed length is chosen.

objects.
• Select the green tick icon to enter the offset clock into the message.
The text inserts object will have the same content as the source object.

the File menu .
