Creating in-house text library

If a string, called the "identifier", is inserted in the alarm text in pointed brackets next to the
place holder (e.g. "%1<ALNX>"), the parameter itself is not inserted in the alarm text but a
further text or text fragment from a text library. The parameter value is used as an index in
the text library and selects the text to be used. The text to be used can also contain
parameters, including index parameters.
The text library is selected using the identifier in pointed brackets.
The reference from the identifier to the text library is defined via the settings of the
"Alarm&Event Service" adapter.
To include in-house alarm texts, the following files are provided as samples:
