Each VI in a library can have several headlines, labels, or units.
The first headline is Headline 0, Next Headline 1 and so on.
In the following we will use headline as an example.
In each VS profile for a VS the will be a list of up to 32 predefined headline texts to easily select from during
installation setup. There is always one text in the headline list that is defined as the default selection. The default
text will automatically be selected when the VS profile is chosen via the setup wizard. After the wizard is completed,
you can change the default selection as described below.
Quit often it is the same headline list that is copied to all VS profiles for a given VI, but depending on the nature of
the indicator it is different text lines that is selected as default headline for a given VS.
For example, in a customer library using CAN data input for up to 4 tunnel thrusters on the same CAN bus, we
have most likely defined four VS profiles for respectively TT 1, TT 2, TT 3, TT 4 with their respective instance of
CAN input data. If we use a standard headline list like this:
Headline #

0x4101:18
Headline 8
Tunnel Thr. 5
0x4101:19
Headline 9
Tunnel Thr. 6
0x4101:1A
…..
We have used the same headline list in all four VS profiles (VS01 to 04), but the default selection is set differently
in each VS profile so that it is the match the normal system setting, used in most installations. But it is always
possible to make a change from the installation menu as we will see in the next chapter.
