Annunciator Overview,

Report Generation
The other change in the programming unit is in the report generation area. A
variation of the existing Point Reference Table report is necessary for the Graphical
LCD Annunciator. This variation differs from the existing point report in the
following ways.
l
All the points generated in this report will be in a comment format. All lines are
preceded by a semi-colon.
l
All points are followed by a blank line.
l
Only point identifiers (card-point-subpoint) and labels are listed in the report.
l
All point identifiers contain three levels. Points with two levels only will assume
a zero for the subpoint level. For example, in Card 3, point 1 is represented as 3-
1-0, not 3-1.
l
Only points that can enter an abnormal state (Fire Alarm point type, Priority 2
point type, Supervisory point type, Trouble point type) are included in the report.
l
Card status points are included in the report.
The new report,
<jobname>.eng,
is generated automatically during a build when there
is a Graphical LCD Annunciator programmed in the job. The report is located in the
same directory as the . dbffile. This report is overwritten every time the job is build.
This report is the starting point for translating the custom labels from English to a
foreign language. Figure 14 shows an example of this report.
