Appendix G Legend Format for CSV Import
The following formatting instructions for the csv import file must be followed:
1. The first value must be the point number you wish to update 1->48; this must be followed by a
comma character.
For CR (Combined SER) systems, the input numbers in your file should match the input
channel assignments, ex. Master SER has inputs 1-128, slave 1 has inputs 129-256, etc
2. The second field is the text string you want loaded for Alarm Legend. If there is a separate
legend for the normal state, enter a comma after the Alarm legend. The max length for the
Alarm Legend is 32 characters; therefore; only the first 32 characters will be stored.
3. The 3rd field is the text string you want loaded for Normal Legend; this string MUST NOT
contain any commas. The max length for the Normal Legend is 32 characters; therefore; only
the first 32 characters will be stored.
An example of a valid entry is: 1, Input 1 is in Alarm, Input 1 has returned to Normal
Additional Notes:
•
Lines beginning with a # character indicate a comment line; these are allowed as they are not
processed
•
Only include lines for inputs you wish to change either the Alarm Legend or Normal Legend.
If you only wish to update the Alarm Legend; you may skip entering the 3rd field as defined
above in 3. For example:
1,
Fire Alarm
This a valid entry and will modify only the Alarm Legend for input 1.
•
If you only wish to update the Normal Legend; you must still enter it as the 3rd field as defined
above in 3; but you can skip modification of the Alarm Legend by not entering any characters
between the commas. For example:
1,
, Fire Alarm has returned to Normal
This a valid entry and will modify only the Normal Legend for input 1.
Note: if you put a space between the 2 commas above it will be interpreted as entering a single
space for the Alarm Legend and this would clear out any previous entry.
