Thanks David, excellent suggestion.  There are so many alarm acks, it's 
definitely a possibility.

And yes, we have dried out and  the river is back below flood stage.  The site 
was covered with 1 to 4 feet of water for almost 3 months.

On the plus side, the rice crop did quite well.

Hey Ken.

You guys dried out yet?

Usually a slow response is due to the annunciator trying to do an almack on a 
non-existant, or non alarming block.  It times out.  If you have a display and 
are trying to do a page ack, you probably have configuration issues there.  If 
the response is slow, that is what I would look for first.

Regards,
David

Subject: [foxboro] Annunciator Keyboard Slow Response

List,



We are installing an annunciator keyboard for the first time and I have a 
question related to the slow response time on opening a configured display.



On a few of the buttons, we have configured numerous STATE and REALM alarms to 
light the LED and acknowledge the alarm.  In one particular case, it takes 
almost 6 minutes to open the designated display.  On the button where only two 
alarms are configured, it takes about 6 seconds.



Is there any way to speed this up or is this just a limitation based on the 
running scripts?  Seems kind of useless this way.



Any advice would be appreciated.
