INSTNAME
 
Function:
Controls options relating to the display of Instruments:
•
Defines whether SPREFs, PDMS names or UDAs are to be used as itemcodes for instruments in the material list.
•
Allows the instruments on the isometric plot to be tagged with the designated itemcode enclosed in circles (balloons).
Description:
By default, an instrument is identified in the material list by having its SPREF as its itemcode. You can specify instead that the instrument's name will be appended to its description, because an instrument reference may require more characters than the itemcode format permits. In this case the itemcode column will be left blank.
 
The designated itemcode can be displayed in a circular balloon next to the plotted symbol on the isometric. By default, instruments are not tagged with their names in balloons, even if they are identified by name in the material list. The size of the balloon is given by specifying the maximum number of characters per line of text in the balloon. The tag can be split at all delimiters or just at the first.
Examples:
INSTN NAME
Instruments identified in material list by names appended to descriptions. The itemcode column is left blank (default).
INSTN SPREF
Instruments identified in material list by using SPREFs as itemcodes.
INSTN NAME WITH BALL OFF
Instruments identified in material list by name, but without tagging with name balloons on plot.
INSTN NAME WITH BALLOONS SIZE 4
Identifies all instrument symbols on the isometric with balloons containing the instrument names in a 4-characters-per-line format.
INSTN :UDA1 WITH BALL SIZE 5 SPLITFIRST ITEMCODE
Identifies all instrument symbols on the isometric with balloons containing the instrument :UDA1 value in a 5-characters-per-line format. The name will only be split at the first delimiter and will be used as the Itemcode in the material list.
