Adding remarks to the alarm log file at runtime
Using the AlarmLogRemark command, you can add information to
the alarm log file at runtime.
Alarm log remarks appear in the alarm log file, and can also be
printed. You cannot display alarm log remarks in alarm summaries.
The AlarmLogRemark command has parameters that let you add a
text comment, the alarm severity, and the tag name to the alarm log
file. Other parameters let you prompt the operator for the text part of
the remark at runtime, and log the remark to a printer as well as to the
alarm log file.
At runtime, only one Alarm Log Remark dialog box is displayed at a
time, and the operator must respond to the dialog box before the next
one is displayed.
Alarm logging must be on before you can use the AlarmLogRemark
command. To start alarm logging, issue the AlarmLogOn command.
For details about the AlarmLogRemark command, see Appendix A,
RSView32 commands, or see Help.
Using the /P
parameter with the
AlarmLogRemark
command, you can
prompt the operator
for an alarm log
remark at runtime.
