LabVIEW
Register for system alarms
So, I have an event structure registered for alarms on my shared variables. When a shared variable goes into alarm the <alarm & event notification>: User Event section of the event structure activates. Nothing wrong here. However when I use the Alarm and Event Query vi to list ALL alarms and events I not only see the alarms for the shared variables but also alarms created from other IO servers not communicating. While this is true (I don't have these devices hooked up) I would also like these alarms to trigger the event structure like the variable parameter alarms do. Looking through the vi's for the DSC I found the Request System Event Notifications vi. I though that this may do it so I wired it in next to the Request Alarm and Event Notifications vi. Unfortunately this did not work. Is this the right vi to be using for these communication failure alarms?
