Although it is possible to build the entire event monitoring database from
within the EagleVision application, the operator may wish to develop the
database externally.
For large database applications EagleVision allows the importing or
exporting of the “Events to Monitor” file in a generic comma separated
values (CSV) format which is compatible with many database and
spreadsheet programs. You can also work with “Tab” separated values
by selecting this option from the “preferences” dialog box accessed by
means of the “Misc” menu.
When configuring a system with hundreds or thousands of events, a con-
siderable amount of time can be saved by performing the configuration
in a different environment such as a dedicated database or spreadsheet
application. These programs can be optimized for more efficient data
entry.
The “EventsToMonitor” file is read by EagleVision when it is initially
launched and contains all of the configuration information used by the
database for monitoring, alarming, and printing events. During opera-
tion, the “EventsToMonitor” file is not used but is updated whenever Save
is selected from the File menu.
To import or export a database file to or from another application choose
the “IMP/EXP” button on the “Event Configurations” screen. The
import/export dialog box will appear.
Selecting “Export” will create a file on the hard disk with all of the config-
ured events. Following is an example of the first three records of a sam-
ple database as exported by EagleVision.
0,0,Transition On,Master Fuel Trip, N20:0/0,0,Y,Y,N,N,Red,Green,Y
1,0,Transition On,Master Fault Latch, N20:0/2,0,Y,Y,N,N,Red,Green,Y
2,0,Transition On,Alarm Horn Latch, N20:0/4,0,Y,Y,N,N,Red,Green,Y
