Using the Transmitter

To view the alarm log:

1.Click ProLink.

2.Select Alarm log. Entries in the alarm log are divided into two categories: High Priority and Low Priority. Within each category:

All currently active alarms are listed, with a red status indicator.

All alarms that are no longer active are listed, with a green status indicator.

3.To remove an inactive alarm from the list, click the ACK checkbox, then click Apply.

The alarm log is cleared and regenerated with every transmitter power cycle.

Note: The location of alarms in the Status or Alarm Log window is not affected by the configured alarm severity (see Section 6.11.1). Alarms in the Status window are predefined as Critical, Informational, or Operational. Alarms in the Alarm Log window are predefined as High Priority or Low Priority.

5.5Using the totalizers and inventories

The totalizers keep track of the total amount of mass or volume measured by the transmitter over a period of time. The totalizers can be viewed, started, stopped, and reset.

The inventories track the same values as the totalizers but can be reset separately. Because the inventories are reset separately, you can keep a running total of mass or volume across multiple totalizer resets.

Note: Mass and volume totalizer and inventory values are held across transmitter power cycles. The fill total is not held across power cycles.

Note: If the Special update rate is configured, no inventories are available. See Section 6.7. To view the current value of the totalizers and inventories with ProLink II software:

1.Click ProLink.

2.Select Process Variables or Totalizer Control.

Table 5-2shows how you can control the totalizers and inventories using ProLink II software. To get to the Totalizer Control screen:

1.Click ProLink.

2.Select Totalizer Control.

Note: The fill total can be reset independently from the Run Filler window (see Section 8.3.1). It cannot be reset independently from the Totalizer window.
