5.10 Configuring the MDD
5.10.1 Description
The MDD is configured with the list module (as from SW4). The texts in the
screens can be edited.
The data that are to be displayed in the screens have been configured.
As from SW 5, it is possible to print out the list module.
Introduction The list module is configured by means of 3 ASCII lists:
Data lists
For each list display, there is a data list in which the
S display title
S column width
S data to be displayed
are described.
Text lists
The text lists are organized language specifically. They contain one text for each
data and additional texts for headings, units etc.
Semantics list
For each item of data, this contains information on
S internal format
S display format
S input limits
S special treatment
Separate text and semantics lists exist for each machine data area (e.g. NC MD).
Help texts/info lists
The info lists are organized language specifically. They contain one text for each
data which can consist of several lines.
Explanation
The list module looks in these lists for all information regarding display structure and
the data to be displayed and stores them in a compressed file (binary file). If this file
already exists it is accessed as soon as the list display is called up,
i.e., the ASCII lists are not used.
The list module first looks for the data lists in the user path. If it does not find
them here, it uses the data lists in the Siemens path.
If the data list exists in the user area the text and semantics lists are taken from
the user AND Siemens area.
If the data list only exists in the Siemens area the text and semantic lists are only
taken from the Siemens area.
If the keyswitch is in position 3, only the lists in the Siemens path are used. If
the password is not set the keyswitch is re-evaluated every time a display is
selected. The keyswitch position is ignored with “Set password”.
If you wish to display other data or use other texts or input limits, you can copy
the data lists from the Siemens path into the user path and edit them as
necessary.
