Chapter 7
Using Workbooks and off-line programming
This chapter describes the OLP Workbook tool which allows you to enter system programming
data offline into Excel worksheets called Workbooks. You then can upload that data to the Norstar
system. Workbooks also allow you to acquire all or part of the data from a Norstar system, and
then reload just the corrected information back to the system. The Excel-based workbooks use a
set of macros as an Off-line programming tool that provides the interaction between the
workbooks and the Norstar system.
The information in this chapter includes:
• “Understanding workbooks and off-line programming” on page 84
• “Configuring a workbook” on page 85
