Creating A Text-Only Message
The dialog box in Figure 2-8 allows you to enter the text for a TD 200 message.
The dialog box shows you the starting address of the message (Message
beginning address). It also shows you the address of the message-enabled bit for
this message. Your program uses this message-enabled bit to control the display
of this message on the TD 200. Setting the message-enabled bit to a 1 causes the
TD 200 to read and display this message.
For this example, type in your message as shown in Figure 2-8. This is a text-only
message, so there is no embedded data. Since there are two more messages to
configure in this example, click on “Next Message >” to continue.
