Re: [foxboro] CAD

Alan,
    We got help for this from TAC some time ago.
    The line looks like this in our  /usr/fox/customer/alarms/cfg/AM26A1.cfg
file (for each instance of the User Display button):

    Action CdbString  "user_disp; send_to_dm -dm DM26A1
/usr/fox/alarms/show_dm"

Where the /usr/fox/alarms/show_dm script is this:

    dmcmd script
    dmcmd run /usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/show_win "FOXBORO: Display Manager
$GCLBUG:$DMNAME"


This method does seem to require that a specific AM be associated for a
specific DM (which is done in the dmcfg file), and unique AM .cfg files for
each AM.  I am not sure how this might work with the standard AM
configurator tool.  TAC hopefully would be able to help on this.
