19.1 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 19-2).

19.2 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 Get Alarms pop-up notification (Figure 19-3) as they occur.
Since they are reported spontaneously 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 Information list
(Figure 19-1).

2. Now that the device has been selected, click Get

Alarms to retrieve the current alarm status for
that device (Figure 19-1).

Figure 19-3 shows an example where the device
reported that no alarms are present.

3. Click

OK to dismiss the Get Alarms pop-up notification (Figure 19-3).
