Fields in the Report
The table below describes all fields (report columns and line entries) that can be included in an Alarm
History report. Whether or not the field is included is a function of the type of report and the report
options specified.
Table 7. Alarm History report fields
Report Item Description
Start Date/Time Beginning date/time for the reporting period you are requesting.
End Date/Time Ending date/time of reporting period.
TYPE Depending on the level of the report, this report column identifies a report line entry as either
CAT (Category) or TRB (Trouble):
C no. (category number) or T
no. (trouble number) There can be multiple category or trouble number report lines
per reporting item, but report lines are generated only if there is
data to report for the report line entry.
ALM (Alarm) or TRB (Trouble) These two entries are always paired and there is always one
pair of report line entries per reporting item. One of the pair of
lines has time reported under “Duration” and the other has time
reported as all zeroes. The line with time reported as non-zero
indicates whether the alarm point had an Alarm or Trouble
event.
FREQ Reports the number of times the alarm or trouble occurred during the reporting period.
TOTAL DURATION Reports the total accumulated time that the alarm point(s) were active, or trouble(s) were
reported during the reporting period.
LONGEST DETAIL The following information is included in all reports for the alarm or trouble with the longest
duration
DURATION How long the longest alarm or trouble lasted.
START TIME The time at which the alarm or trouble originated. Additional identifying
information (for example, monitor point and category or trouble number
appears in system reports as appropriate).
FLAGS Flags are used to identify report line entries that are not contained within
the reporting period as follows:
Flag Meaning
> A reported event started earlier than the reporting period.
< A reported event ended after the reporting period.
* A negative time. The system clock has been reset while a
reported event occurred so that it appears to end before it
begins. (This can happen as a result of a reboot following a
system crash or as a result of resetting a clock for changes
between daylight savings and standard time.)
Since more than one alarm or trouble is reported per report line, more
than one type of flag can occur per report line. However, each type of
flag occurs only once per report line.
