The 7th parameter is interpreted as the display time for the mode without acknowledgment
(10 seconds). The contents of the table are then deleted. The dialog remains on the screen
until PICTURE_OFF is selected. The 8th parameter (T1) is the text variable for the header. If
there is no entry, the operating area name, "cycles", is displayed. The parameters 9 to 23
are optional text variables ("G1=optional text variable"). In this COM file, the optional text
variables must be preassigned in the [Text variables] section.
