Choosing a waveform file with this dialog does not in itself cause the warning sound to be heard
when an alarm is raised. To hear the audible warning for any alarm, the Play Sound setting in the
alarm definition must be ticked. Also, the PC on which CX-Supervisor is running must be equipped
with a suitable sound card and audio capability.
Viewing the Contents of the Alarm Database
To open the Alarm Editor dialog, click the Alarm Editor button on the toolbar. An example
of the Alarm Editor dialog is as follows:
Alarms may be segregated into groups. To select a group, pick an entry from the Group field.
All alarm definitions can be displayed by selecting <All Groups> from this list.
Individual listed alarms are sorted, based on a designated field type: name, type or description. By
selecting the Name field, the alarms are sorted alphanumerically by name. The Type and Description
fields, once selected, react in the same way. The Alarm Editor dialog shows the alarms in name
order.
The widths of the alarm fields can be widened or narrowed as required using the
mouse to drag the column boundaries.
The typeface of the editor can be amended by selecting Preferences from the File
menu. This is especially useful when printing.
The Change General Alarm Settings button on the toolbar displays the Alarm Settings
dialog, which allows global alarm settings to be modified. Refer to chapter 8, Alarm Header
Information.
Select the Large Icons button to view details with large icons.
Select the Small Icons button to view details with normal icons.
Select the List button to view details as a list.
Select the Details button to view details as a list including name, type, expression, priority
and description information. The details can be sorted in ascending order by clicking once
or in descending order by clicking twice, in the appropriate field.
