Compliance with ITU Z.120


MSC Diagrams

The MSC Editor supports virtually all of the ITU Z.120 language definition for MSCs, including most of the MSC'96 additions.

For information on the MSC support compared to Z.120, see Compatibility with ITU MSC.

Pagination

MSCs cannot be split into multiple pages in the same way as SDL diagrams. However, if your MSC requires more than one sheet of paper when printing, the MSC Editor takes care of splitting the chart into multiple parts to print on separate sheets of the paper size you have specified.

Each part of a multiple-part chart can be printed with adjacent page markers to assist you in making up the complete chart. This feature is by default disabled and must be set as a preference or specified in the Print dialog.

Some of the MSC syntax rules are enforced during edit when you append symbols and lines to your MSC. These rules determine:

This syntax checking cannot be disabled. All text is checked during editing.
