A message file may contain any number of phrases up to the maximum of 37 whenevery phrase is programmed for a system with all points and groups active. A message filecan be constructed from an existing one or entirely with new phrases.If you want to edit an existing message file, use the Load button in the Message section toselect a file. The contents of the message file will be displayed with the designation “in .msgfile” if a phrase is present or with the designation “empty” if there is no phrase for thatlocation. If you have the configuration database that is associated with this message fileloaded in the main program and if the names for each phrase have been programmed in thedatabase, you can turn on the Use Text Names to include the names of the phrases in thedisplay. Do not display the text names if they do not correspond with the associated phrases.If the pre-recorded message file is not on disk but is present in the Cv2, it can be downloadedby selecting the Read from ProTalk button in the Message section.Adding individual phrase (.vox) files is done by selecting the location where the phrase will beused and then pressing the Load button in the Phrase section (or double-clicking the location).The file selected in the Open File dialog will be placed at that location.Press the Clear button to remove a selected phrase.Individual phrases that were part of a previously recorded message file can be saved to disk bypressing the Save button. A suitable name for the file is required; the program does notattempt to provide a default name even if there is a text name available. External files (.voxfiles taken from a phrase file on the hard drive) that have been loaded cannot be saved in thismanner; use the Windows Explorer to copy these files.All of the information concerning phrases shown in the editor can be saved to file by pressingthe Save button in the Configuration section. Previously saved configurations can be restoredby pressing the Load button in the Configuration section. Loading a new configurationreplaces all currently displayed data.Important: The phrase and message data is not embedded in the configuration file, it onlycontains pointers to the input data members.
