The DOS editor edit should be used to edit the files.The standard texts con-
tained in the text files can be overwritten by user-specific texts. An ASCII editor,
e.g. DOS editor, must be used for this purpose. New entries can be added to
alarm text files.
Please refer to next Section for the applicable syntax rules.
The HPU can be assigned two languages in online mode. These are referred to
as foreground and background languages.
It is possible to exchange the foreground and background languages of the
MMC system using the system diskette.
During installation, it is possible to select any combination of two of the lan-
guages on the system diskette as the foreground and background languages.
By definition, the master language is German. It defines the number and order
of the alarm/message texts for the languages selected by the user.
The number and order of the alarm/message texts in the selected languages
must be identical to those of the master language.
After the text contents have been modified, the text files must be converted and
transferred to the HPU.
