Scratch Pad

The MDC provides a simple scratch pad form that allows the user to enter and save notes or random information that they might need later during their shift of duty.  The scratch pad data is persistent and will stay available to the user even if the MDC is powered off.  When the user/unit logs off the MDC, the scratch pad file is automatically erased.  To activate the MDC scratch pad, click the “SCR” button located on the top right portion of the MDC display, next to the Link and Ready Handshake indicators (discussed later in this document).

Once the MDC Scratch Pad form is active, the user can enter notes and comments as desired.




*Note that there is no save button.  All notes and comments are automatically save when the form is closed.

Within the MDC Scratch pad form, the user may type CTRL+T to automatically insert a time stamp as is shown in the illustration above.
