I am following the discussion on alarm acknowledgement without GCIO with great interest. I don't see a definitive answer on the 'F12' key. Lacking a standard key, I like the 'dmcmd' approach and attach it to a key. There's another question that is raised by this discussion about terminals. I have limited experience with terminals; just a few remote information displays on PCs not requiring operator functionality. Several users mentioned previously about using P91 Server for Windows and bunches of XP PCs in the control room instead of more expensive AW workstations. Users of terminals, do you get audible alarming through these terminals and if you do, how do you silence the horn? If you don't get audibles, what do you use for audibles in the control room and how do you silence? Horn contact and panel pushbutton? Something else? Thanks. =20 Best Regards, Ken Heywood, Marketing/Project Consultant Process Control Services, Inc. 401 Industrial Drive Plymouth, MI 48170-1885 'PCS means Providing Customer Satisfaction' Business Phone: (734) 453-0620 Facsimile: (734) 453-6008 Mobile Phone: (508) 241-2040 Text Message: 5082412040@xxxxxxxxx (160 character limit) PCS Web: http://www.pcsmi.com <http://www.pcsmi.com/>=20 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE - The information contained in this transmittal is confidential.
