4.7 CUSTOM FUNCTIONS
Once you have the system started, have completed network configuration, and have at least
a few data points, you have the basis to complete the implementation process. This
includes the following activities:
• Build pictures. • Build Free Format Logs
• Configure buttons. • Prepare user-written programs.
These activities are interdependent and do not have to be accomplished in any particular
order. For example, in picture building, data points referred to by a process schematic
must be built and loaded before the schematic can operate. Buttons on the Operator
Keyboard are often configured to call up user-built schematics, so those schematics must
exist before the button can function.
If you do not want to build or change any of the custom functions, you can skip to
subsection 4.7.2 on Area Database Configuration.
4.7.1 Build Pictures
The Picture Editor is used to build process schematics, help displays, and other custom
pictures used in day-to-day operation and for special purposes. Two prebuilt pictures are
included in the user volume PICS. They are discussed later. If you do not want to build
any additional pictures, skip to the next section.
To activate the Picture Editor, call up the Engineering Main Menu and select
PICTURE
EDITOR
. Compile any new pictures that you build or existing pictures that you change.
Detailed picture-building information is in the following publications in the
Implementation/Engineering Operations - 2 binder:
• Picture Editor Form Instructions
• Picture Editor Data Entry
• Picture Editor Reference Manual
A step by step example of a simple picture editor building session is provided in Task 23 of
the System Startup Guide.
