2.2.4 Configurable Event Counters
The Configurable Counters feature of the Workstation allows users to configure the Event Counters section of the
application. In previous versions of the Workstation, the Event Counter would list Event Statuses such as Alarm,
Trouble, Security, Supervisory, and Access Control Events. This new feature allows users to configure both the name
of the counter (limited to five counters) and the Event Statuses that are counted in each catagory.
Figure 2-8: Starting Configurable Counters
To begin using the Event Counter Configuration utility, select Event Counters in the drop down menu under
Workstation Configuration . This will open the screen titled Event Counter Configuration .
The Event Counter Configuration
interface enables the user to define
which Event Counters will be dis-
played at the Workstation. This
interface allows the user to specify
exactly what qualifies as an event in
each event catagory. The user also
has the option of configuring the
name of the counter (maximum of 25
characters). The workstation will
display a total of up to 5 Event
Counters.

Modifying, Adding, and Removing Event Types
The Event Counter Configuration tool allows the user to modify, add, or remove event types in the Event
Counters area in the upper right corner of the Workstation.
To modify an Event Type, select the desired catagory in the upper left box. Once highlighted, select the
Modify
Event Type button below the Event Type list. This will bring up a text box with the prompt Enter Event Type
(25-Char Max) . In the open text field type the name of the Event Type being created. When complete, select
OK .
To add a new Event Type, there must be less than 5 Event Type catagories already in place. The Event Counters
area of the Workstation is limited to no more that 5 Event Types. If 5 Event Types already exist, one or more must
be chosen to be removed before more can be added. To remove, highlight the Event Type, and select Remove
Event Type from the buttons below the listing box. This will remove the highlighted item out of the Event Type
box.
To add a new Event Type, select
Add Event Type from the buttons below. This will bring up a box similiar to the
Modify Event Type box. Name the Event Type in this box.
