How to Edit DSC Alarm & Event Display.vi

[Mirash]

HI ,

I am developing an application by making use of Shared Variables and i am planning to use DSC alarm features for the alarms purpose. I found one Alarm & Event Display.vi from the DSC Function Pallet. I have the following doubts regarding this V

1 ) How can i remove some fields available in the list box like Process list and Set User.

2)  Is there anyway to edit the Online Filtering Screen available with this Display VI.

3) How can i change the Alert Sound for an Alarm.

Can anybody help me in sorting out these issues..

Thanks and Regards,

Mir

Hey Blackperl,

I'll try and answer you questions in the same order;

1) Have a look into the DSC User Defined Alarms Demo.vi in the DSC Alarms Demo project that can be found in example finder. This should give you ideas on user defined displays

2) Please refer the help on Filtering Alarms and Events in the Alarm and Event Display Control (DSC Module)

3) Here is a good KB on How do I Configure an Audible Alert for Alarm Conditions in LabVIEW DSC?

Hopefully this helps!!

Thanks for your reply Aashish.

I hope you can provide some more clarification on this

In my doubt 1, i was asking about editing the Alarm & Event Display.vi  ActiveX control.

Can we use the vi which is given in read alalrm demo example along with this ActiveX control


Thanks and Regards

Hi Blackperl,

The Alarms & Display.vi doesn't allow you to edit the table information as the ActiveX object itself doesn't provide that property. The only thing you can do is to resize the column to make it disappear. It's not the best workaround, but it works.

If you really want to look into making your own table, you should refer to the Read Alarm Demo example.

I've looked into the DSC Alarm Demo.project in the example finder.

Question: what would be the method of acknowledging alarms from the User Control. With the ActiveX control, you can right-click on the Alarm and Ack from there.
