(5) The Prefix, Numeric, and Suffix prompts allow you to use the mnemonic assigned to each point to define

which points are to be displayed. In response to the prompts, you can enter either the required part of the mnemonic or

the wild card character (*). Then press [NEXT] to move to the next prompt or [GO] to end the command and create a

display based on the selected criteria. When you use the [NEXT] key, the system displays your entry in the command

input frame. If you did not make an entry in response to the numeric and/or suffix prompts, it assumes you want to

display points which do not have a numeric and/or suffix and uses the space character to indicate this.

NOTE

The next three selections are configurable and may not be offered in your system.

(6) Zone allows you to define the zones whose events are to be displayed. You can enter the name or

number of a particular zone or use the * to indicate all zones. Pressing [NEXT] leads to the next prompt and [GO] results

in the events being displayed.

(7) Device selects the events associated with a particular type of device. Beside the prompt, the system

displays either the name of a device or an asterisk, which indicates all devices. You can then use the left and right

cursor keys to step forward and backward through the available devices and press either [NEXT] to move on to the next

prompt or [GO] to create the display.

(8) Category refines the display to one which contains points within a data category. The left and right cursor

keys step through the available categories, which appears beside the Category prompt. When you have selected the

category required, press [GO] to end the command. The system then creates the display and returns you to the Main

menu.

f. The [QUIT] soft-key is available on each menu to end the current command sequence and to return to the Main

menu. It you press the key while you are specifying the parameters for a trend, any changes you have made are

ignored.
