alarm viewer

DSC 8.2

I am trying to create an alarm viewer like the one in Lookout.  I have used the alarm and event display from the DSC module, but every time the alarm goes from false to true the alarm disappears and then appears again.  I am trying to get the alarms to stay until you right click and acknowledge the alarms, if a alarms goes false then it should just change color on the display.  This is incase the problem is intermittent and the user does not see the alarm.  Thanks

Not sure if anyone is interested, but it appears you can open the filter window when the Alarm vi is running and select to have old alarms shown.  Once your vi is running right click the alarm and event display and select filter options.

You could also set the property of the alarm objects so that the user has to acknowledge it, instead it being done automatically. Check out the attached example where I am setting an alarm on a shared variable. I set the alarming properties of the Shared Variable so that the user has to acknowledge the event before it clears from the list. I hope this helps.
