Hi All -
I would like to know if anyone can help me with DSC and alarms. I have several shared variables that I have setup with alarms and logging with DSC. I can view them with the Shared Variable Manager, the value, status, alarm state, etc. So, I want to be able to view this info on my Front Panel and acknowledge alarms there - - Is that possible? I put "alarm and event display.vi" on my front panel and it shows when a variable goes to alarm state, but I don't see how to acknowledge the alarm once it enters the alarm state.
Other question, once a variable is in an alarm state, obviously it stays there until it is no longer in alarm, but if you acknowledge it - - what happens? does it stay 'red' color and remain in the alarm list - and what about logging, does the log indicate when the alarm was acknowledged any by whom?
So that is my next question, how do I setup and force a user to 'log-on' to be able to acknowledge alarms?
If anyone could point me at a document / tutorial / example I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
