Multiple Alarm Conditions

[CCONROY]

I currently have a Email and a Pager object send the alarms. My problem is it is set up to send the "alarm.update" when the LG I created is not active. The latch gate is tied to a timer for start up so when the process is restarted the alarms do not go out while the system is checking each station. WHat I have done now is, I have eleven stations, created a push button and tied it to a off timer. This has worked well and i have tied each individual alarm for that station to the timer. It is working fine but I do not get it to log the alarm to the alarm screen if the timer is active. Hence I don not know if there was an alarm condition. What I would like to do is set the pager and email alarm to be able to send when the lg is not active (holding back all alarms) and then to not send for each station during the timer. This is to be able to allow us to work on the station or perform tests on the alarm system with out the alarms going to our pager or emails. It sounds complex but I know that there is an easy solution, I think. CAn anyone help me out???

Your requirement I understand is that you have a timer which is on during the restart for a while, and want a control to enable or disable the sending.

For example, you create a switch called sendAlarm.

Pager.send = $Alarm.update and sendAlarm and !Timer.

Then, only when the sendAlarm switch is on, Timer is off, and there is a new alarm, the pager will send the alarm message. This alarm will be in alarm window, will be logged, but not be sent if you turn off the switch. So, when you want to test, just turn off the switch.
