Task Bar Enabled
The Task bar enabled option on the User Setup Screen will enable the Windows 95 Task Bar.
It is recommended that the Datalog 3 system is run exclusively on a PC and that no non-Cortech
Developments applications are run at the same time. Cortech can not guarantee that other applications
will not affect communication with the field panels or other external hardware.
Because of this possibility, it is best to leave the task bar disabled. This will deter other users from
running any other applications.
Show Zone Numbers
If this option is checked in the ‘System’
!
’User Setup’ dialog box, then the Datalog zone number will be
displayed and logged in front of any alarm text recorded and also shown in the icon hint text.
On some systems this number is not required as a more recognisable reference is used in the zone text.
If the Datalog zone number is not required remove the tick from this box.
