9.1 Obtaining Device
Information
This option retrieves and displays the serial
number for the device, the version for the
controller hardware, and the version for the
software program that controls the operations
performed by the controller (Figure 9-2).
9.2 Retrieving Current Alarm
Status
AISG compliant devices report alarms to
the program in two ways, one of which is
spontaneous and the other of which must be
requested by the user. An AISG compliant
device, such as an ATM200, spontaneously
reports alarms in the ‘Command Status/Re-
sponse’ window at the bottom of the screen
as they occur. Since they are reported spon-
taneously by the individual RET devices,
no action is required by the user to retrieve
these alarms. If desired, you may check to
see if any previously reported alarms are still
active.
1. To query a device for its alarm status, first
click on the device in the ‘Device Informa-
tion’ list (Figure 9-1).
2. Now that the device has been selected,
click ‘Get Alarm Status’ to retrieve the cur-
rent alarm status for that device (Figure
9-1).
Figure 9-3 shows an example where the
device reported that no alarms are pres-
ent.
3. Click ‘OK’ to dismiss the ‘Get Alarm Sta-
tus’ pop-up notification (Figure 9-3).
