6.3 Display Messages and Symbols
Overview
Messages and symbols will appear in different areas of the display to inform the operator of a variety of
conditions. The area across the bottom of the display (Figure 6-9) is reserved for messages that require the
operator to take action. They include Active Alarm Symbols, Diagnostic Messages, and Data Storage
Messages.
Location
The Alarm and Diagnostic messages consist of a symbol on the left side of the display and a text message
next to it on the right. The Data Storage message has no symbol and includes only the text portion.
Multiple messages
If multiple messages are present simultaneously, they will be arranged in a "cascaded" or "shingled"
arrangement, so that underlying symbols will be visible (data storage on top, diagnostics in the middle,
alarms on bottom).
Example of primary display
