-
The buttons ![](drex_configuration_of_an_e_mail_annunciator_custom_6.png) open the address book of the e-mail software. But only few e-mail programs support this function (e.g. Outlook 2000), so that clicking on these buttons mostly does not have any effect.

State: The current state is inserted.
-
Date: The current date is inserted.
-
Time: The current time is inserted.
By clicking on Insert, you insert the variable in the subject or text of e-mail at the place of the cursor. The placeholder for the variable is simple text which is specially marked (with @@)

![8](drex_bullet_8.png) Configure states
You can change the state names here. For instance, a limit exceedance could be named "exceedance of guide values" instead of "alarm". Furthermore, you can select for which states e-mails are to be sent.
| |
![9](drex_bullet_9.png) Configure sending
You can set different limits for e-mail sending so the recipient will not receive too many e-mails.
-
For instance you can decide that attached files will only be sent if they do not exceed a certain size.
-
Up to 16 measured values can be ready for sending per second. It is advisable to send measured values only in case of state changes.
-
Finally, you can restrict e-mail sending globally by a maximum number of e-mails per minute. If the connected instrument generates more e-mails per minute. these e-mails are blocked until the minute is over. E-mail which have not been sent are counted as errors in the status bar.
