Output text
Shortcut: 10120 to
10123
Default: None
Entering text for an output allows the user to control it directly or by
schedule. Use the following guidelines to name SnapCard outputs:
• Use the item numbers that appear in Table 25 on page 134 for
characters and words listed there.
• If you want an output for user output control, you must use the output
text feature to name the output. If no output text is programmed, the
user will not have access to the output.
• When using words from Table 25 on page 134, spaces between them
appear automatically. When using characters from the table to create
words, you must reserve an item number for a space after the word.
• Each character or word uses one item number. For example, a word
from the list counts as one item number.
• Only 16 item numbers are allowed for each output name, so plan
before programming output text. You may need to abbreviate words to
avoid running out of item numbers.
To program output text:
1. With the display showing SNAPCARDS, press #, then A or B until
the display shows OUTPUT TEXT.
2. Press # and the display shows OUTPUT 1.
3. Press A or B until the desired output number is displayed.
4. Press # and the display shows OUTPUT N ITEM 0 0 - where
ITEM 0 is the first character/word location and 0 is the character/word
number.
5. Enter the number of the desired character or word, or scroll through
the numbers by pressing B (forward) or A (backward). If you make a
mistake, enter the correct number or continue scrolling through choices.
6. Press # to accept the displayed choice and the display shows
OUTPUT N ITEM 1 0 -.
7. Repeat the process as needed to complete the output name.
8. Press * after entering the last character or word number. The display
shows the complete text name. For example: OUTPUT 1 GARAGE
DOOR.
