Getting Started Guide

Viewing Alarms

You can use the Alarm View dialog to view On Line and History alarms. You can filter the alarms by device ID, module and channel. When an alarm occurs, the color of the device icon in the configuration window changes to red. As long as the alarm exists, the icon remains red. In the Alarm window, a red line of information shows the status of the alarm.

If the alarm condition goes away before you acknowledge the alarm, the alarm icon changes to blue. When you acknowledge an alarm, it turns green. All alarm conditions are recorded in the Alarm History dialog. If an alarm appears in red in the Alarm History dialog, it will not be duplicated. If an alarm is active, it must be acknowledged before it will be displayed again. When a channel has two alarms, only one alarm can be active at a time. If one alarm becomes active and then a second alarm becomes active, Fluke DAQ will acknowledge the first alarm and show the second alarm as active.

To view alarms

∙Click the button on the Fluke DAQ toolbar and the Alarm View dialog appears.

When you select the On Line option, a red line of text with information about the alarm is printed to the screen when a new alarm is detected.
