Configure the display type

The Distributed Alarm Display object can show summaries of active alarms or listings of historical alarms.

You can also change the display type dynamically at run time. This can be done, for example, by running the almQuery() script function. The almQuery() script function uses parameters that you can use to set the specified Distributed Alarm Display object (for example: "AlmObj_1") to a specified display type (for example: "Summary"). For more information, see almQuery() Function.

Configure the query default

1. Right-click the Distributed Alarm Display object and then select Properties. The Alarm Configuration dialog box appears.

   

2. In the Query Type list, select the type of alarm display that you want to use for the run-time default.

3. Select OK.
