When you create an alarm worksheet you are telling the systems what tag you want to have as
alarm and what kind of alarm, limits, message, priority and filter selection., as well as the
message colors in the alarm object.
When you check the Save To Disk box, the system will record all the alarm occurrences in an
ASCII file in the alarm subfolder of the application folder, with the hst extension.
The manual explanation regarding the Alarm Worksheet Header is the following:
ALARM WORKSHEET HEADER
This defines a group of common characteristics for all alarms of the group.
Group Name Field - Name used to distinguish the alarm groups.
IMPORTANT: Before changing the Group Name field, save the alarm worksheet, because
alarm settings in an unsaved worksheet can be lost.
Description Field - Enter remarks here for documentation purposes.
Disable Field - Disables all alarms in the group. You must fill this field with a tag. If the value of
this tag is greater than zero, the group is disabled, and alarm messages are not generated. If the
field is left blank, the group will be always enabled.
Remote Ack Field - Tag for alarm acknowledgment. The acknowledgment occurs when there is
a value change for this tag.
Total Active Field – Holds the total number of active alarms in the group. The system always
updates this value when one of the tags changes its alarm condition.
