Axcess Programming Standards

1. Keep pertinent job information in a consistent order in the program name.

Standard:

PROGRAM_NAME='AMX Ø1, BOARDROOM, SO#99999, REV2, FA/BETA'

(* DEALER ID, JOB NAME, SO#, REV#, AUTHOR'S INITIALS *)

2. Use the /BETA flag after your initials in the program name until it is completed.

3. Use (* !!REV1 *) or (* !!RV1 *) after lines or sections that were changed in program revisions.

Standard:

ON [RELAY,1] (* SYSTEM POWER:!!REV1 *)

also correct:

ON [RELAY,SYSTEM_POWER] (* !!RV1 *)

! List the type and version of master (Normal, Enhanced, AXCENT2) used in the system

after PROGRAM_NAME and before DEFINE_DEVICE.

Standard:

PROGRAM_NAME='AMX01, BOARDROOM, SO#99999, REV2, XXX/BETA'

(* DATE:04/08/95 TIME:01:23:45 *)

DEFINE_DEVICE

4. Keep a revision header (with the most recent revision at the top) listing program changes after

PROGRAM_NAME and before DEFINE_DEVICE.

When naming Axcess or Touch Panel files, indicate that the file requires Extended

Memory by following the job name with "(EXT.MEM)".
