Programming an existing system
When you want to change programming for an existing system, you can either create a second
workbook that you use to update specific information (
“Creating and using an update workbook”
on page 94), or you can acquire the current programming from the system into the workbook
already assigned to the customer, change the settings within the workbook, and then reprogram
those settings back to the Norstar system. Refer to
“Acquiring information from a programmed
system” on page 96.
Creating and using an update workbook

tool to only update specific areas, without being concerned about overwriting other areas of
programming, or messing up the original worksheet.

before you stopped the activity. Any programming which is transferred to the ICS before

discard the information and return the workbook file to its original state by closing the file
without saving changes, then re-opening the file.
