  • * Description: Device Description Language Manufacturer Specific Dictionary
  • *
  • Design Note- This version of the standard dictionary uses
  • the new, 2 letter language codes. It must be used with
  • the new Phase 2 tokenizer and linker.
  • Note: Like in the standard dictionary, do not use the code for England |en|.
  • The AMS software otherwise could not display the labels.
  • Design Note- File conforms to the ISO Latin1 character set. Make sure editors
  • conform to this standard!
  • Design Note- unix2dos and dos2unix will destroy some of the special characters
  • unless the -ascii option is used!
  • Design Note- To inject delimiter characters put a back slash before
  • the character (Ex. \").
  • Design Note- Lines should be limited to less than 255 characters. To continue a line,
  • end the line with a '"' character and start the following line with another
  • '"' character.
  • Design Note- If there are more than two string handles with the exact same name
  • only the first one will be found by the tools.
  • Design Note- A String reference must not begin with a number.
  • Design Note- An APPHELP with the words 'Translation Pending' (e.g. APPHELP "|de|Translation Pending")
  • means that a translation is forthcomming. Therefore, if this string is used in a DD,
  • then the DD Developer is responsible for whatever the translation becomes in the future.
  • General guidelines using the Siemens dictionary
  • 1. Siemens may have one and only one supplemental standard dictionary.
  • 2. The string numbers for Siemens devices begin at 10000 + 100 x manufacturer ID. (10000 + 100 x 42 = 14200)
  • The maximum number of different sections is limited to 100. The number of strings per section is unlimited.
  • This means that Siemens can use the sections in the range from 14200 to 14299.
  • 3. A string may not be modified or removed once the dictionary is registered. It is only allowed to add
  • new strings to the dictionary.
  • 4. A supplemental standard dictionary will be treated as a new DD. The fees are $2000 for the registration of the
  • initial revision and $500 for each succeeding revision update.
  • 5. Use the -s option with the pre-tokenizer for tokenization.
  • (example: hcfpretok.exe -s siemens.dct)
  • 6. Use the -d option with the 275 linker newlink.exe.
  • (example: newlink -p -d hc.dct -d siemens.dct -b 0 -c link.cfg -o pclink.out -e link.err)
