The summary is initially sorted by ID in descending numerical order, so that the most recent alarm
appears at the top of the list. You can sort the display by the contents of any column by clicking on the
column heading. Click the heading a second time to reverse the sort order based on that column.
Saving the Default Filter
If you have a device selected in another applet when you run the Alarm Browser, EPICenter creates a
default filter that filters for alarms on that device only. You can save this filter for future user by doing
the following:
Acknowledging an Alarm
To acknowledge an alarm:
This sets the state of the selected alarms to “acknowledged,” and places a green check in the Acked
field of the selected alarm log entries.
When you acknowledge the most recent alarm, the state of the Alarm button in the EPICenter
Navigation Toolbar also returns to black.
You can “unacknowledge” alarms you have previously acknowledged, if needed:
The Ack or Unack operation may take a few seconds to update the database. When the update is
complete, the rows are deselected.
Deleting Alarm Log Entries
To delete an alarm log entry:
This removes the selected alarm log entries entirely from the EPICenter database.
