Re: Where can I know the GCLBUG of our IA system? I don't know exactly the
difference between logical names, etc


Each DM/FV on a AW/WP has a logical name. The boot DM/FV's logical name is
the letterbug of the AW/WP. The logical names for all configured DM/FVs are
specified in the file /usr/fox/customer/hi/dmcfg. There is a .man file there
with instructions on how to configure the names.

When WPs could run only one DM/FV, GCLBUG had two definitions. It was both
the letterbug of the WP and the logical name of the DM.

When the 50-Series was released, the two definitions were split. GCLBUG is
now used for the WP letterbug, but DMNAME is used for the logical name of
the DM/FV being used.


For example, you could build a pickable point on a graphic to print the
letterbug and the DM name like so:


dmcmd msglin "Letterbug: $GCLBUG. DM name: $DMNAME"


The message line should show on the base DM/FV:

Letterbug: W1BPW1. DM name: W1BPW1


On a different DM/FV on the same WP, you would get something like:

Letterbug: W1BPW1. DM name: W1BPW2



Does this help?

        Hi Kathy:

        One very easy question for you...

        For example, if the GCLBUG of our AW is : W1BPB1... which one is the
=
        syntax of the "omget" call for this variable?

        omget ALMSTATEW1BPB1 or ALMSTATE:W1BPB1 ?   Neither work!

        Where can I know the GCLBUG of our IA system? I don't know exactly
the =
        difference between logical names, etc

        Here is the information I promised on the ALMSTATE variable.

        1. Each workstation has a global called ALMSTATE<GCLBUG>. Do an =3D
        'omget'.
        This returns a decimal value.
        2. Convert it to hex. The bit pattern is as follows:
            |             |    Horn     | "ALARM" or  |   "SYS" or  |
            |    Unused   | Mute Status |  "Process"  |   "System"  |
            |   15 14 13 12 | 11 10  9  8 |  7  6  5  4 |  3  2  1  0 |

        Bit  0: Process Alarms:  0 - Normal (Green) / 1 - Alarm (Red)
             1:                  0 - Acked (Solid)  / 1 - Unacked (Flash)
             2:                      0 - Unused
             3:                      0 - Unused
             4: System Alarms:   0 - Normal (Green) / 1 - Alarm (Red)
             5:                  0 - Acked (Solid)  / 1 - Unacked (Flash)
             6:                      0 - Unused
             7:                      0 - Unused
             8: Local Horns:     0 - Unmuted / 1 - Muted
             9:     CAG 1 Horns:     0 - Unmuted / 1 - Muted
            10:     CAG 2 Horns:     0 - Unmuted / 1 - Muted
            11: Unused:          0
            12: Unused:          0
            13: Unused:          0
            14: Unused:          0
            15: Unused:          0

        Hi,

        There is a workstation global called ALMSTATE which contains the =3D
        encoding
        for the "SYS"/"System" button, "ALARM"/"Process" button, and the
horn =
        =3D
        mute
        state. I am out of the office until Monday, but I can send you the
=3D
        details
        then. It is set by Alarm Alert and read by the Display Manager
and/or
        FoxView.
