Slot Alarm: A Slot Alarm will alert the user when
the value of a selected slot (defined in SDStatus)
within a channel is greater than, less than, or
equal to a value defined by the user. The following
fields are set up in the Slot Alarm setup window
(Figure 29):
• Alarm Name: A user-defined name for the
alarm.
• Cause: The cause of the alarm (typically
used by operators). This field is optional.
• Action: The corrective action
recommended (typically used by
operators). This field is optional.
• Channel: The channel number of the slot
that SDStatus will monitor (0 through 127).
• Slot: The slot number that SDStatus will
monitor (0 through 79).
• Target Value: The slot value that will be
evaluated based on the Alarm Type field.
• Alarm Type: This can be set to Equals,
LessThan, or GreaterThan. An alarm state
will be generated when the current slot
value meets the set condition when
compared against the Target Value. For
example, if the Target Value is 12 and
Alarm Type is LessThan, an alarm state
will be generated when the current slot
value is less than 12.
• Server: The server to be monitored. (This
is a drop-down menu; servers must be
defined before one can be selected.)
The Red Alert checkbox causes the alarm to
generate a System Tray notification and also
causes the alarm to appear in red in the alarms
notification area.
