5.7.2 Alarm File
The Alarm File screen is accessed from the home
“View” menu. It displays all alarms for any given day. The
MCT can store daily alarm files for a period of a year or longer (time based on storage usage for data history).
Each time an alarm occurs on the MCT, the alarm is written to a file. Alarm file names are listed as MMDDYYYY
(where MM = month, DD = day, YYYY = year. The
“Open” file button will display a dialog box where the user
can select any alarm file to view.
The send email icon
allows the user to send a copy of the currently opened alarm file to any user configured
in MCT. When the email icon is pressed, an
“Add Recipients” window will be displayed where the user can
select recipients for the file from any of the email addresses configured under the MCT email settings. For
information on how to add email recipients to the MCT, see the section 9.10 Email.
The
Disk icon next to the send email icon allows the user to save the currently opened alarm file to a USB
memory device connected to the MCT.
NOTE: If no alarms occurred on a given day, an alarm file will not be created for that day. The alarm list will
display up to 650 alarm files. If more than 650 alarm files are present, the alarm files cannot be shown
in the list and the files will have to be exported from the MCT in order to view them. This can be done
either via USB file utilities (see section 8.4 USB File Transfer) or FTP (see section 8.5
FTP/FileWeb/DataWeb Interface).
