What kind of tag events can be logged in Citadel apart from alarms?

[Helene]

I am trying to find out what kind of tag events can be logged in citadel apart from alarms. Even though I selected the "log/print events" in the tag configuration editor for some tags, and changed my tag values, I never found out any analog tag logged in the alarm & events history as event types. I got lots of alarms, but no events. Does tag events concern booleans?

There are two areas of events that the DSC Engine will log.

-System Events-(User Log-ins,Engine Start Time,etc(
-Tag Events- (Value Change by user--any vlaue analog,discrete)


--System Events--

These events can be viewed by opening the Engine Manager and checking Show Events. (A popup box will show events--These are also stored in a log file--See C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\SysLog--You can also choose to Log these events by checking that option in the Engine Manger)


--Tag Events--
In order to View these on the ActiveX Alarms and Events Display (Create this control by goin to the Alarm and Event Palette --Top Row and Last Column).

Make sure the 'Generate Event When Remote User Changes Value'
Option is Checked (Go to Tag Configuration Editor>>Configure>>Engine>>Events Tab)

Now You will see an Event for every value change by a user (remote or local).

You can log these events by options in the Tag Configuration Editor>>Configure>>Events.

You can also programmatically log your own events using the DSC VIs--See the DSC Help for more information.
