RSView32 commands

A–11
Acknowledge Acknowledge [tag_name]
Acknowledges an alarm or a group of alarms. This command gives no
indication that it has run but will display a message if not executed
properly.
If an acknowledge bit is associated with an alarm, acknowledging the
alarm sets the acknowledge bit.
[tag_name] The name of the tag to be acknowledged. This can be
a tag name, a name with wildcards, or the [tag] literal
string.
If no tag is specified, this command acknowledges
the most–severe, most–recent unacknowledged
alarm.
[tag] Specifying the word “tag” inside square brackets
acknowledges alarms for the tag associated with the
highlighted object in the active graphic display.
Examples: The Acknowledge command
Acknowledge Hopper1\Flow
Acknowledges all outstanding alarms for the tag Hopper1\Flow.
Acknowledge Hopper1\*
Acknowledges all outstanding alarms for all tags in the folder called
Hopper1.
Acknowledge *
Acknowledges all outstanding alarms.
If alarms are occurring rapidly, don’t run the Acknowledge command
without a tag name. The Acknowledge command could
acknowledge a new alarm rather than the intended alarm.
