2.2.4 Changing "Win-Help" alarm help to "PDF help"
To change the help function from "Win-Help" to "PDF help", proceed as described in in the
previous section: "Extension of alarm help".
1.
Define jump labels for each alarm number in the document:
The jump labels must be identified by an index entry and a single-column index list
(right-justified page numbers) must be generated in the document (e.g., Winword) which
is to be displayed on the controller as a PDF.
2. Generate text file:
Copy the single-column index generated above (right-justified page numbers) and save it
in a TXT file.
The text file for the PDF call requires the following syntax:
<PDF file name> <ID> <page>
The search string (alarm number) is identical to the ID number in this case.
3. Enter the name of the PDF file at the start of each line.
Example:
ALARM.PDF 10702 90
ALARM.PDF 10703 90
ALARM.PDF 10704 91
<PDF name> <ID> <page>
4. Print the file in which the alarm texts are stored as a postscript file (possible from all
standard platforms). The file extension used in Winword is *.prn and the one used in
Interleaf is *.ps, for example.
5. Convert the postscript file to "PDF" using the Adobe Acrobat Distiller software.
6. Read the files (*.PDF and *.TXT) into directory F:\DH\USER\HLP.DIR on the controller.
Note
If additional user alarms are to be displayed in the alarm help, these must be inserted in
directory F:\USER\HLP in the form of a PDF file and a TXT file of the same name.
Please adhere to the naming conventions listed in the next section under "File names".
