Alarm List

The alarm list displays all alarms, failures, and messages. Which ones are shown is determined by multifaceted filter adjustments:

• online alarms
• historical alarms
• Only current alarms
• only unacknowledged alarms
• minimum time for active alarms
• groups, classes, variable name, identification, limit text and of course
• times

For each entry multiple information can be displayed. For example: variable names, identifiers, value, time of event, comments, acknowledging user, acknowledging computer, critical value text, status, class information, group information, etc.

In the single view, alarms are displayed as time received, time cleared and time acknowledged. In the list they can also be summarily displayed. The individual entries receive a Time reactivated (=total time an alarm was pending) and a Number reactivated.
