User Defined section

There are eight user-defined fields (UDFs) available on the Definition tab. You can tailor these fields to match your unit needs with the System Setup page. For more information, see Work with Codekeys.

If the Unit UDFs have already been set up, you will see a name instead of the unit UDF number. For example, if Unit UDF 1 has been coded to Boom Serial Number, you will see Boom Serial Number instead of Unit UDF 1.

Each UDF fields has a dropdown list of options you can select. The options available depend on your setup.
