upload file, then clear the Prompt Upload Destination box.
If you want to enter a new name for the uploaded file, select
Prompt Upload Destination. Windows NT or Windows 95 file
naming restrictions apply. The file name can exceed 8 characters,
but the PanelView firmware truncates file names that exceed 8

Upload Option Description
Clear Alarm History after Upload This option allows you to clear alarms in the alarm
history after an alarm history upload. If selected,
only those alarms triggered before the upload are
cleared. Alarms triggered after the upload is
initiated are not cleared.
Clear the check box if you do not want to clear the
alarms.
Ignore Clear Confirmation The Ignore Clear Confirmation option is enabled if
Clear Alarm History after Upload option is
selected. This option is grayed-out and disabled if
the Clear Alarm History after Upload option is not
selected.
If this box is not selected, a confirmation dialog
box is displayed at the beginning of the upload.
Press Yes to indicate you want to clear
unacknowledged alarms in your alarm history.
Press No to indicate you do not want to clear the
alarms. After the confirmation, the alarm history
upload continues to completion.
If this box is selected, the confirmation dialog box
is not displayed.
Important: If you need to turn off a relay or
buzzer to acknowledge alarms, we recommend
that you do not use this feature. To switch off this
feature, select Ignore Clear Confirmation.
