I am setting up a test rig with a number of ADAM 4018+ modules, which I connect to Labview through a Modbus I/O server. Datalogging works fine - I can read the Citadel database in MAX and export it to text. I cannot get it to log alarms though. The modules I'm working with give a Boolean error signal when they do not detect a thermocouple at one of the inputs. Following the instructions in the Getting Started document (Getting Started with the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module), I am trying to view the alarms by following the procedure:
1. Select View»Alarms and Events to display the Alarms and Events view.
2. Click Select Processes to display the Select Processes dialog box.
3. In the Available Processes list, expand My Systems»localhost.
4. Select Tank System Shared Variables and click Add to add this process to the Selected
Processes list.
5. Click OK to close the Select Processes dialog box.
But I cannot see them. Alarming seems to be set up correctly because when I unplug a thermocouple DSM does display the High value of the Boolean in red and says there's an error. But the alarm does not appear in the Alarms and Events view and is not logged to the Citadel database I created for datalogging. In fact, the database is completely empty when viewed in MAX. Logging events to the same database as data doesn't work either. I tried deploying the libraries using the Deploy Library VI, but that did not fix the problem.
