How to format alarms in DSC modul?

[IngvaldB]

I am using Labview 7.1 with Datalogging and Supervisory control modul.

I have created a project using the "Alarm and Event Display" in DSC modul. However, I want to be able to format or change the way the alarms are presented in the "Alarm and Event Display". Currently this displays gives information about : Object name, Set time , Set User, Ack Time, Ack User, Clear Time , Clear User, Priority, Area, Value, Setpoint, Process, Description and Ack Comments.

Some of the mentioned items I want to "delete", or rather not show in the Alarm and Event display.

The Object name shows f.ex. : \\COMPUTER NAME\FOLDER NAME\TAG NAME.Alarms.DISCRETE
I want it only to show TAG NAME.



If someone takes their time to answer me I really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Ingvald Bardsen

I'm using DSC 8.2 but maybe this will help....

Don't use "Alarm and Event Display" but rather "Read Alarms.vi" to return a cluster of the alarms. Then unbundle and filter the cluser accordingly into whatever kind of control you'd like.

The example "DSC User Defined Alarms Demo.vi" found in "DSC Alarms Demo.lvproj" ships with LabVIEW.DSC 8.2 (maybe 7.1 as well)

Hope this helps,
