Tag ID field is found on the Device tab card.
Tag ID - Enter an appropriate tag name for the transmitter containing up
to eight ASCII characters which uniquely identifies the transmitter.
NOTE: It is suggested that when you create a database configuration file for the
transmitter, you make the file name the same as the transmitter tag ID.
PV1 Priority - Enter "/ " slash as the eighth character in tag number to set
PV1 as "priority" PV in DE (digital) data broadcast, if all four PVs are
selected for broadcast (turned ON). See "Selecting PVs for Broadcast" on
next page for an explanation on the broadcast of PVs.
Normally, PV1 has the number 1 priority unless all four PVs are selected
for broadcast. Then, PV4 has the number 1 priority, PV1 is second, PV2 is
third, and PV3 is fourth. However, you can set PV1 to have the top
priority and PV4 to be second by entering a "/" as the eighth character in
the Tag ID.
Note that the transmission rate for the various PVs depends on the number
of PVs that are selected for broadcast. When more than one PV is selected,
the "priority" PV is sent every other broadcast cycle.
See the SCT help and on-line user manual for descriptions and procedures
for filling in the remaining data fields of the Device tab card.
