to move the cursor to the Quantity per Kit entry field. In most
cases you will leave this at the default value of one, which means that one
device with this data will be placed on each board.
Set Message Number
Move to the
Message number
entry field and enter a four-digit number
corresponding to a screen message you will create. TaskLink will display
that message to prompt the operator between the end of one Task and the
start of the next (see Figure 3-25). For more information on entering the
specific message, refer to the description of the Message Editor in the next
section.
Note: Message is an optional feature. If you don’t want TaskLink to display a
message before running the next Task, enter zeros (0000) in this field.
To add the next Task to this Kit, move the cursor to line 2 in the
Task/
Quantity/Message #
entry box and repeat the process. In Figure 3-26,
Task 2 has been selected and message number 1 has been entered.
Message Editor
Once you have specified an ASCII editor in the
Set Message Editor
option of the
Options
menu (refer to the Set Message Editor section on
page 3-30), you can access your editor by selecting the
< Message Editor>
pushbutton in the Edit Kit dialog box.
TaskLink runs the selected ASCII editor and looks for a file called
tl.msg
.
After the editor has opened the
tl.msg
file, type the tilde (~) followed by
the four digits used in the Message number entry field (see Figure 3-26).
