15–9 Creating Alarms
Publication 2711-6.0
The Alarm List operates like a control list selector. The Alarm List
can appear in the Alarm Banner or on another application screen.
Touch screen terminals require List keys to move the cursor up and
down the Alarm List. You can optionally use the Enter list key to
enable the operator to acknowledge an alarm in the list. The List
keys are accessed from the Objects
" List Keys submenu.
To create an Alarm List:
1. Choose Alarm List from the Objects menu.
2. Place and size the object.
The format of the entries in the Alarm List does not appear until
you create alarm text (Alarms tab/Alarm Setup dialog).
3. Double-click the object to open its dialog.
4. Under Display Fields, select:
•
fields to display for each alarm. The fields are displayed in
the order shown with the alarm text appended to the fields.
•
text size of the characters in the list (the text sizes vary for the
PanelView terminals).
•
number of lines (1 to 9) to display for each alarm entry. The
maximum number of lines varies depending on the text size
and the size of the Alarm List object.
