DC Line Field Options Dialog

DC line field display objects are used to show different values associated with DC lines on onelines.

This dialog can be opened by right-clicking on a dc line display field and choosing to open the DC Line Field Information Dialog while in run mode. If in edit mode this dialog will be opened simply by right-clicking on a dc line display field.

This dialog is used to view and modify the parameters associated with these fields.
