29. Each “Ref Code” will be associated with the Equipment Ref Codes inserted on the mac tab. ez-MAC tools Tab

30. “Remark Codes” are associated with the Remark Codes entered on the mac tab. ez-MAC remarks Tab

31. Since many users already have existing data in powerLOG, we added an LCN column to the workbooks. By entering the applicable LCN, data can be updated easily. If LCNs are unknown, simply ignore the first column. ez-MAC Existing Data
