Adding Custom Announcements

You can download custom announcements to the NFS server and add them to the Treatments Table provided with the IMG System Software. When downloading custom annoucements, the img_vocab.dat file gets saved as img_vocab.dat~. The new img_vocab.dat file will have the custom announcement added. You can then assign the announcements to the channel groups in a Route Table.
