Overview
A BSC module can have Data Fields added to Alarms or Processes. This guide covers a Text Field when selecting Key Input as the Source Type. Key Inputs can be used for any type of data entry, they allow the user to type in whatever is needed with no restrictions.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. Hardware: Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
3. Software - PC BSC plug in must be loaded in your system.
4. Hardware - BSC plugin must be loaded in your system.
5. Hardware - BSC must be powered & communicating with the system.
6. The Configuration must contain at least one Alarm or Process.
