reboot. This screen (which comes with your system and is built with Screen 
Builder) uses built-in external status points that monitor the health of your 
system.  

Custom Screen Viewer

 displays the custom screens (graphical 

representations of telemetry) that you create using HT3’s Screen Builder 
application. When you click the Screens link, your base, or initial, screen is 
loaded. If you have not created your own custom base screen, the default 
HT3 base screen (an example of a custom screen) is loaded. 

The 

Station Status Viewer

 allows you to quickly view the status of each 

point for a specific station. From this viewer, you can also perform a control 
for any control point configured at the station. By default, the station listing 
is sorted in ascending order by station address, or number. You can also 
have the list sorted alphabetically according to station name by clicking the 
"Station Listing" heading. Clicking "Station Listing" again resorts the list by 
address.  

With 

Alarm Viewer

, you can view and/or acknowledge alarm activity. The 

alarm list can be sorted by several different variables, including time, 
address, and description, and is color coded for quick alarm status 
identification.  

Camera Viewer

 provides you with a means of viewing the video feed of 

your network surveillance cameras. With HT3 you can install an unlimited 
number of surveillance cameras on your network, which can be used to 
visually monitor important equipment or entrances to your plant.  

With 

Trender

 you can view and analyze historical information for any 

telemetry point in your system. A trend can contain data from a single point 
or multiple points. Multiple points can be displayed in separate panels in the 
same window, or they can be combined to display in the same panel. 
Trender features tools for zooming in and out (to see more detail or more 
data) and for panning backward and forward in time. Any user can create 
and view a trend, but only users with "Configure Telemetry" permission can 
save a trend 

Reports 

HT3 provides you with a variety of reports that allow you to monitor the 
activity and performance of your telemetry equipment.  

To access these reports, select 

Reports

 from HT3’s main menu. 

The reports include those for: 

 

Averaging and totalizing analog flow meters. 

 

Creating an electronic journal of events that affect your utility's 
operation.
