Data Stream Options

The generated screen manager program contains a Screen Table that controls the Data Stream Options and Alarm Options. The following five options can be changed by modifying the Screen Table in the generated code:

• Repeat to Address (RA) Order
• Set Attribute (SA) Order
• Program Tab (PT) Order
• Erase/Write Always
• Alarm Options

A value is assigned to each option in the screen table. To suppress any combination of these options, add the value assigned to each option. Enter the total in the value field for the Data Stream Options.

To control the alarm, set the value of the alarm options to the appropriate value.
