2.2.2 Expanding the Alarm Help
If additional user alarms are to be displayed in the Alarm Help, these must be
added in the form of a pdf file and in a txt file of the same name in the
C:\USER\HLP directory.
Required files
• *.pdf e.g. alarm_gr.pdf
• *.txt e.g. alarm_gr.txt
1
Define jump labels in the document
The jump labels must be marked with an index entry in the document (e.g.
WinWord) to be displayed at the control as pdf single-colum index list (page
numbers right-justified) produced.
2
Create text file
Copy the single-column index created above (page number right-justified) and save
it as a txt file.
Example: 10702 90
<ID> <page>
The search word (alarm number) is the same as the ID No. in this case.
The text file requires the following syntax to call the pdf file:
<pdf file name> <ID> <page>
Insert the name of the pdf file in front of each line.
Example: ALARM.PDF 10702 90
ALARM.PDF 10703 90
ALARM.PDF 10704 91
<pdf name> <ID> <page>
3
Generate pdf file
Print your document as a postscript file and convert it to "pdf" using the Adobe
Acrobat Distiller.
4
Incorporate the files to the control
The generated files (*.pdf and *.txt) must be copied onto the control, e.g. to
directory F:\DH\USER\HLP.
