Monitors

Download Monitor
The download monitor quickly identifies the download status of all
locations and any locations that have instruments out of download
compliance.
The upper portion of the monitor shows the last time an analyzer
from the listed locations was downloaded. These columns can be
sorted by clicking the column heading.
The maximum time allowed between downloads from the instru-
ment to the CDS is defined under Download Criteria in the Instru-
ment/Location workspace. The download status of each location is
recorded in the Download Monitor. The Requires Download col-
umn indicates how many of the total number of analyzers reporting
to a location have exceeded the Download Criteria. Clicking the
location will open the Instrument and Location workspace where noncompliant analyzers will be high-
lighted.
The monitors are updated or refreshed according to the schedule selected during the customization of CDS.
The data can be manually refreshed by clicking the Refresh toolbar button or by pressing the F5 key.
Interface Monitor
To access the interface monitor for an interface installed by a
third party, click the Interface Manager button in the tray at
the bottom of the screen.
The Interface Monitor identifies quickly the status of the
Interface to an external computer. The number of pending
results is shown as well as any exceptions in the last 72
hours. Clicking an exception takes you to the Unsent Results
viewer to address the exception.
Alarm Monitor
The Alarm Monitor displays the real time alerts and conditions of the system that require attention. This
activates a set of alarms related to analyzers not being able to update CLEWs, software binaries, or custom-
ization preferences.
To access this Monitor, click Main > Open Monitor > Alarm from the menu
bar, or click Alarm Monitor in the Monitor submenu toolbar. A window will
open listing the currently enabled alarm categories and how many total alarms
have been detected for each category. A date/time stamp indicating when the
monitor was last updated is also visible to the lower left corner of the list.
Clicking an individual alarm category displays details of the alarms detected
in that category, the date/time they occurred, and the location.
Selected alarm details or all alarm details may be deleted by clicking the
Acknowledge button at the bottom of the window.
A report of selected Alarm details or all Alarm details may be printed by
clicking the Print button at the bottom of the window.
The default setting for the Alarm Monitor is to have all Alarm Categories
and the individual detailed alarms contained in those categories enabled.
