Alarm and event list in Xtt


The alarm and event list in the operator environment can be opened from buttons in the
operator window, and also with the xtt commands

xtt> show alarmlist
xtt> show eventlist

In the EventSelectList attribute of the OpPlace object you state hierarchies from where alarm
and events should be displayed.

Alarm and event list in an XttMultiView

There is a function that creates copies, so called satellites, of the alarm and event lists.
These can be usee to display the alarm or event list in a XttMultiView. In the XttMultiView
configuration, Action.Type is set to AlarmList or EventList.

AlarmView

An alarm list satellite can also be combined with an AlarmView, that will categorize the alarms
and display them under different maps in the list. The maps are configured by creating
AlarmCategory objects under the AlarmView object, one for each map. In the AlarmCategory object
the hierarchies, priorities or event types for the alarms in the map. A map containing active
or unacknowledged alarms are marked with a color that shows the priority of the alarms in the
map. Also the number of unacknowledged alarms under the map is displayed.

An AlarmView object has to be stated in the AlarmView array of the OpPlace object.

An alarm list with an AlarmView can be opened with the command

xtt> show alarmlist satellite /alarmview=

It can also be displayed in an XttMultiView by stating the AlarmView object in
Action[].Object[0] in the XttMultView object.

AlarmTable

The AlarmTable object makes it possible to display the latest alarms in a process graph.
The AlarmTable object i placed under the OpPlace object and the alarm list for the OpPlace
is copied to arrays in the AlarmTable object. There are arrays for EventText, EventName, Time,
EventPrio etc, that can be displayed in a table in the process graph. With the Member attribute
a selection of alarm from specific hierarchies can be made, but the selection is limited by
the EventSelectList of the OpPlace object.
