[foxboro] Alarm ACK Button

Hello List,

I have been a reader since the Oct. 2005 Cassandra discussion in
Houston. Nice to get to know people like John, Alex, Duc, Jeremy and all
present that long evening. Now I am a writer too...

We are looking into getting rid of Annunciator panels for the I/A Unix
Stations. The single usage of them right now is acknowledging Process
ans System Alarms. Operators would agree to throw them away, if we can
find a similar way of acknowledging alarms... One idea that has come up
was to program some alphanumeric keyboard buttons for that (i.e. Esc
button, or F1 button, etc). Foxboro has answered that the single way
would be a hardwired button. I am trying to avoid this and find
something simpler and more elegant. I know you can just click the mouse
on the Process button on the FoxView graphics to acknowledge the process
alarm. But the pointer is moving and the click could be mistakenly on
the wrong field, etc, etc.

Can anybody help or has a solution to this? 

Regards,
