User comments in Help

The Help for alarms (key [i] in diagnostics) offers the notepad function where
customized texts can be saved for the individual alarms. These texts are stored in
the directory
F:\USER\RH
and are retained at MMC software installation (from SW 5.1).
Note
Alarm-specific texts can be stored by pressing the key [i] if the MMC Help
function was invoked from the alarm overview or alarm log for the respective
alarm. It does not work if you select the alarm from the directory.

Converting the Alarm Help from "Win-Help" to PDF Help"

If the Help function is to be converted from Win Help to PDF Help, the procedure is
the same as the one describe in the Section "Expanding the Alarm Help" above.
1. Define jump labels in the document for each alarm number:
Use an index entry to mark the jump points in the document (e.g. WinWord)
that is to be displayed as pdf file at the control and create a single-column
index entry (page numbers right-justified).
2. Create text file: Copy the single-colum index created above (page numbers
right justified) and save it in a "txt" file.
The text file for the pdf call has the following syntax:
The search word (alarm number) is the same as the ID No. in this case.
Add the name of the pdf file before each line.
Example:
3. Print out the file containing the alarm texts as a Postscript file (this works on
all common platforms). For example, the file extensions are ".prn" for WinWord
and ".ps" for Interleaf.
4. Convert the Postscript file to pdf with adobe Acrobat 4 using the Distiller.
5. Copy the files (*.pdf and *.txt) onto the control to directory
F:\DH\USER\HLP.DIR.
