The 'Time ON' column reports the date and time of the alarm occurrence. The local time of the operating system you are using will be used and can be displayed with the format specified in the "Time Format" property field from the 'Alarm Window Style Properties'. Clients connected to the Server will display the time in their local format.
The 'Time ACK' column reports the date and time when the alarm was acknowledged. The local time of the operating system you are using will be used and can be displayed with the format specified in the "Time Format" property field from the 'Alarm Window Style Properties'. Clients connected to the Server will display the time in their local format.
The 'Time OFF' column reports the date and time when the alarm was deactivated. The local time of the operating system you are using will be used and can be displayed with the format specified in the "Time Format" property field from the 'Alarm Window Style Properties'. Clients connected to the Server will display the time in their local format.
The 'Time RESET' column reports the date and time when the alarm was reset. The local time of the operating system you are using will be used and can be displayed with the format specified in the "Time Format" property field from the 'Alarm Window Style Properties'. Clients connected to the Server will display the time in their local format.
the "Total Time ON" column displays the total time in which the alarm remained active from the moment in which it was initialized. The "Total Time ON" value is set in days, hours, minutes and seconds for default:
D:H:M:S
where: D = days, H = hours, M = minutes, S = seconds
You can also customize how the value is to be displayed by specifying the desired format in the Alarms Window "Duration Format" property. The formats may include the following codes:
%D = Days
%H = Hours
%M = Minutes
%S = Seconds
For instance, when inserting the format string:
%H:%M:%S
the total duration value for the current day (i.e. "12:23:45") will be displayed in the Alarm Window.
The "Alarm Total Num On" column shows the alarm's statistical value which reports how many times the alarm turned ON.
The "Alarm Total Num Ack" column shows the alarm's statistical value which reports how many times the alarm was acknowledged.
The "Alarm Total Num Reset" column shows the alarm's statistical value which reports how many times alarm was reset.
The "Image" column displays the image to be associated in the alarm threshold's "File-stile. Bmp" property, or in the alarm's activation variable property "Options - Bmp File". If images are associated in both these properties, the one associated to the alarm's threshold will have priority over the other.
The 'Status' column reports the current status of the alarms. The Alarm status are:
ON: alarm active and not acknowledged
OFF: alarm not active and not acknowledged
ACK: alarm active and acknowledged
OFF (ACK): alarm not active and acknowledged
The 'Duration' Column reports the duration of the alarm occurrence. This value indicates how much time has elapsed between the alarm's last "ALARM ON" and "ALARM OFF" events and it is only written in the "ALARM OFF" event. The "Duration" value is shown with the day, hour, minute and seconds format for default:
D:H:M:S
where: D = days, H = hours, M = minutes, S = seconds
You can of course customize how this value is to be shown by specifying the format desired in the Alarms Window's "Duration Format" field. Formats may include the following codes:
%D = Days
%H = Hours
%M = Minutes
%S = Seconds
For example if you insert this format string:
%H:%M:%S
the total duration value will be displayed for the current day (i.e. "12:23:45") in the Alarm window.
The 'Severity' column reports the alarm priorities. This value must be entered in the "Severity" property from the 'Alarm Threshold Execution Properties' beforehand.
The 'Condition' column reports the alarm's current condition. The options are:
ON: alarm active
OFF: alarm not active
