4.2.7 Output Tab
An output is the format of data that is sent to a local event printer, pager, and/or email. Once output formats are
created and named, they appear on a list of choices on the Event Printer, Pager/Modem, and Email tabs.
Although any of the listed output formats can be used, it is highly recommended that Available Fields’ User Defined
option be selected as a pager format. That selection allows the user to enter brief descriptions for the user-defined
messages. Once “User Defined” is displayed in the format fields, the User Defined Messages area of the window is
activated. Click in the field adjacent to the “User Defined Messages” name and enter a brief message that can be
received on a pager. Output tab settings are described in
