I have marked a data point to trigger an alarm and I see it coming, but where do I define the alarm text to be shown?

A

Alarm texts are defined in the "Alarmmanagement" dialog that can be found under "Library\ATIVSE\Quick Dynamics\Alarmmanagment"

When you open the dialog with a double click you find a table on top of the dialog where the data points and their alarm text are defined.

Each data set consist of a "DatapointX" and a "TextX". By default you find two pairs already entered with an example text "This is a test alarm text x".

You can extend the list by further entries accordingly such as Datapoint3,Text3...Datapoint4,Text4 and so on. It is most important that they are named with a leading text string "Datapoint" and "Text" and end with a number.

The row TextCount and its value the the left in the column "Default" needs to be adjusted in accordance to the number of data set pairs defined.

In the selection box to the left end of each "DatapointX" row you specify the data point you want to specify the alarm text for by clicking on the three dots. The corresponding alarm text your specify one row after.
