    How Do I Split The Tag Number Annotation To Three Lines For A Pressue-Temperature Gauge In Isogen [TN]

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): AutoPLANT, AutoIsogen
      Version(s): V8i 
      Environment:  N/A

    Overview

    The annotation format for tag number is different between control valves and Pressure Temperature gauges. This is a solution to format the annotation the same way as other instruments where the tag is split to three levels. 

    How do I split the tag number annotation to three lines for a Pressue-Temperature gauge in Isogen

    1. Open the following file in notepad: ..\modules\base\xchg\pcf\DIALOUT.EBS
    2. Add the following three dim statements

      Dim tag As String
      Dim separator As Integer
      Dim startLoc As Integer
    3. Then add the following code immediately after the first within the if-then statement.

      status = at_Component_getString (tag, compID, "TAGNUMBER")
      startLoc = 1
      Do
      separator = Instr (startLoc, tag, "-", 1)
      If (separator <> 0) Then
      Mid$(tag, separator, 1) = "$"
      status = at_Component_putString (tag, compID, "TAGNUMBER")
      End If
      StartLoc = separator + 1
      Loop While (separator <> 0)
    4. Save and close the file.
    5. Restart AutoPLANT and then regenerate the iso.
