headers. (Views are shown for 3216 controllers).

banner which gives a more detailed description of the
parameter. In this example ‘A1.TYP’ = ‘alarm 1 type’.

is first accessed. (Views are shown for 3216 controllers).

header is also displayed
in this way.

display shows the value
of the parameter.
