Procedure to Map Alarm Class Colors in rgb.dat

  1. Create an am_colors.cfg file in the same directory as your rgb.dat file.

The first line in the file must contain only the |-* characters.

Each succeeding line contains an index number (0 through 15) followed by a vertical bar ( | ) and the color name.

  1. Use the same rgb.dat and am_colors.cfg files for all projects.

 Important: The file that is used to display colors is the file for the project in which Alarm Viewer or CimView was started in, not the file for the project where the alarm classes or CimView screens were configured.

Example: am_colors.cfg file

The colors listed in this sample file match the default colors.
