To have the target display appear in a window other than the one occupied by the Alarm Review, drag and
drop the desired Vector pushbutton into an Operator Window.
If the line displayed in the Alarm Review display changes during the drag and drop operation, the alarm
vectoring configuration which was in effect when the Vector button was selected will remain in effect until
the operation is completed.
8.4.3 Filtering Alarms
Data contained in an Alarm Review display is automatically filtered by the filtering mask configured for the
user currently logged in on the Micro-PWC. The user can further filter incoming process alarms by Process
Alarm Type, Priority, and Area. To access the filtering mechanism, click the Filter item which appears in the
Operator Window menu bar of the Alarm Review window. The Alarm Review Filter window (
Figure 8-3 ) will
be displayed.
The main display area of this window is divided in two portions; the left side is labelled Message Class, and
contains buttons which display the available Message Class names. The right side of the main display
area contains a list box, which in turn contains a scrollable list of all the Message Types available for the
selected Message Class. Click the desired Message Class button to select it:
• Process Alarms
• Priority
• Area
When a new Message Class is selected, the list of Message Types in the list box changes to display the
types available for that Message Class. Each Message Type has a pushbutton associated with it. Click this
pushbutton to select or deselect the MessageType. If a Message Type is selected, messages of that type
✎ NOTE
Attempts to drop the display into anything other than an Operator
Window (e.g., a pop-up window, the System Window, and so on)
will cause the Micro-PWC to beep and the operation to terminate.
Similarly, if the pointer is on an Operator Window frame (instead of
inside the window, or on the title bar), the console will beep and the
operation will terminate.
