G64S. For this reason, the Alarm type filter is split into two separate
levels - Generic (which applies to all alarms) and Device type.
The Generic filter takes precedence over the Device type filter. In the
case above, the Connected alarm type would have to be shown at
Generic level, shown at the Device type level for the KBU64, and hidden
at the Device type level for the G64S.
If you do not want to see any Connected alarms, you can simply hide
them at the Generic level. Because of the precedence, the alarm is
hidden even though it is set to be shown by the KBU64 Device type filter.
You can hide the alarm at both levels if you wish to keep the alarm
hidden for a certain Device type when you remove the Generic filter.

3.8.2 Setting up a filter

To set a filter for a window, make that window active (by clicking on it)
and use the Filter... command from the Alarms menu, the Alarm
Window Speed Menu, or the button on the toolbar. This will invoke a
Change Filter dialogue box, which allows you to change the filter
settings for the currently selected Alarm Log window. Note you cannot
set up a custom filter for the Unacknowledged Alarms window.
For windows which display a current (ie not archived) Alarm Log, the
dialogue box is divided into two halves:
In the top half, you can choose whether acknowledged alarms,
unacknowledged alarms, or both are displayed.
In the bottom half, you can choose which types of alarm are hidden by
the filter. By default, all types of alarm will be shown.
For Archived Alarm Log windows, only the bottom half is displayed since
all archived alarms are acknowledged.

3.8.2.1 Choosing which types of alarm can be filtered

In the lower part of the Change Filter dialogue box, there are two main
features - the Device combobox and the Device alarms list. The Device
combobox allows you to select the level at which the filter will apply
(Generic or Device type). The Device alarms list shows the alarms that
can be produced by the device selected in the combobox. If Generic is
selected, this list displays all possible alarms.
