| Summary: |
| When trying to sort and filter my alarms I
have found the following results:
If I use AlarmSetInfo(AN, 8, 0) to sort the alarm list by categories, then I could filter this alarm list by groups or categories. If I use AlarmSetInfo(AN, 8, 1) to sort the alarm list by priorities, then I could NOT filter this alarm list by groups or categories. What is wrong? |
| Solution: |
| The
AlarmSetInfo(<AN>,<Type>,<Value>) function is
used to change various alarm list display settings. When
<Type> 8 is used, it sets the alarm list display mode to
either Categories (<Value> = 0) or Priorities (<Value>
= 1). Once you have set the mode you may then use AlarmSetInfo()
again to filter. Note, however, that these modes are exclusive. If
the alarm list is currently in Category mode, you may use
AlarmSetInfo with <Type> 2 and a <Value> of a single
alarm category or values in a Group of alarm categories. If instead
you are in Priority mode, then <Type 2> does not apply and
instead you may use AlarmSetInfo() with <Type 7> to filter
the alarm priorities, NOT the alarm categories.
Examples: AlarmSetInfo(21,8,0) ! set alarm Category mode AlarmSetInfo(21,2,3) ! display category 3 alarms AlarmSetInfo(21,2,GrpOpen(AlarmCat1,0)) ! display alarms in Categories defined in Group AlarmCat1 AlarmSetInfo(21,8,1) ! set alarm Priority mode AlarmSetInfo(21,7,3) ! display Priority 3 alarms AlarmSetInfo(21,7,GrpOpen(AlarmPri1,0)) ! display alarms in Priorities defined in Group AlarmPri1 Please refer to Cicode Reference or Citect Online Help for information on AlarmSetInfo() & GrpOpen().
