5.5 Interpreting Events on the Workstation’s User Interface
5.5.1 When a New Event Occurs
When an event is reported to the workstation, the following actions simultaneously occur (see
):
• The workstation displays the floor plan area with the icon of the device in alarm displayed in its priority color.
The software attempts to center the point icon in the window. An animated box around an icon indicates this is
the highest priority event. Clicking the icon displays a window across the bottom of the screen with details
about the point. The window’s title bar is color coded based on the current state of the associated icon.
• In the Navigation Tree, a colored box displays adjacent to the level(s) with the event(s). Priority of the
event(s) is displayed by color (red for fire, blue for security, yellow for trouble, etc.).
• In the New Events window, the event is added to a list.
• In the Alarm Summary window, the alarm is added to its list.
• The corresponding alarm summary icon displays its priority color.
• A sound is emitted indicating the event.
