Message display in the editor
You can create and
change messages by
means of the editor
(service program 17).
The editor does not indi-
cate your actual line po-
sition.
However:
After you change a mes-
sage applying either but-
ton 7 or button 8, your
actual position is always
on line 1.
Another way to get to
line 1:
Keep pressing button 3
until the actual character
number (number follow-
ing the hyphen) shows
no noticeable change.
In the picture:
Message 01, having two lines, with an actual line of 14 characters (incl. space characters). The po-
sition of the cursor after button 5 has been pressed five times. Character "U" at the cursor can be
modified.
The second line comprises the first 16 characters of the chosen line. Any modification (erasure/ addi-
tion) are also shown on this line, provided that the changes are located within the area of the first 16
characters.

Meaning of the place holders
To display actual prices, credits, selections, opera-
tion states etc. so called place holders have to be
inserted. These parameters will be replaced with
the actual numerical data during operation.
When programming, you have to enter as many
blank characters as indicated by the figure follow-
ing the alphabet. The place holder K5, for example,
requires another four blank characters to be added.
The place holder involved can only be determined when it is in the cursor field.
ATTENTION! Actual data about credits or error messages etc. can only be displayed when place
holders are programmed.
