4.8.1 Monitor Alarm Text
‘Monitor Alarm Text’ allows you to enable and position the text which appears on the
selected monitor (if it is configured as a keyboard or system alarm monitor) during an alarm
condition. The screen provides you with a preview of the on-screen text positions, allowing
the choices to be visualised easily. The Preview box is slightly narrower (only 38 columns)
for V3i as against 40 columns for V3M.
