If this highest strength is below the standard 37 then two warning stars are displayed after the strength.
The highest strength is also flagged if it is stored as 0, this time using a '-?', to indicate that it may be a
panel anomaly.
The highest panel strength is again included along with the next four highest in a list of the five highest
panel communication strengths for this device. The weak strengths only option is very similar to the full re-
port except that you are prompted to enter a filter strength. Only devices where the highest panel communi-
cation strength is below this value will be displayed in the report. In all report screens the information
displayed can be saved to a file or printed using the corresponding Save Text >> and Print Text >> buttons
at the bottom of the screen. For large systems where the report is automatically saved and not displayed a
text editor such as notepad must be used to view and print the report.
6.2 Example 2: "townhall" using existing files
As for the previous example PANCOM opens with the screen shown below:
Since we want to use existing files click 'Use existing files'
6.2.1 File Control Screen
As can be seen this file control screen is slightly different to the file control screen observed when down-
loading from panels. The panel list has been disabled, as has the add new panel and Panel Download >>
buttons. These features are not required when using existing files.
To add the previously downloaded files simply click Add Existing File(s)... And you will be presented with
the familiar open files screen shown overleaf:
To add a file click on it then click open. To add more than one file at a time simply hold down the Ctrl key
on the keyboard and click each file you want to download.
[If you accidentally click on the wrong file clicking on it again will de-select it.]
Once you have selected all the files you require click open and they will be added to the list. More files can
be added by again clicking Add Existing File(s)...
