The RealTime Alarm Dictionaries contain information about every RealTime or RealTime Gas alarm generated by the system. The information provided for each alarm includes the following:
-
The unique identifier.
-
The message template.
-
The default severity, with instructions on how to modify it.
As one of the first steps in the rationalization process, the .CSV format makes it possible for third-party alarm rationalization tools to read in the dictionary electronically.
The .CSV files are located in the following directory:
