2. If you are creating a new event, use the Index field to assign a unique,
currently unused index number to identify the event. Clicking on the Index
button will automatically assign the lowest available number; you can also
click directly in the text box and assign any value you want between 1 and
1,999 and 5,000 and 9,999 (indices 2000 to 4999 are reserved and
unavailable).
If you wish to modify an existing event, enter the appropriate index value,
or double-click on the event of interest in the Events Watch list (in the main
Alarm/Event window).
TIP
Whether you are modifying an existing event or creating a new one is determined solely
by the assignment of the Index number: if you assign a previously unused index number,
a new event instance will be created; if you use an existing index number, its associated
event will be modiÞed.
NOTE
Clicking on the Index button to select the next available index number will replace the
current Owner string with the default value; if the default value is already in place, the
date and time will be updated.
TIP
Remember, the only thing that determines whether you are modifying an existing event or
creating a new one is the assignment of the index number; be sure to assign this value
appropriately.
