Steve,

Try replacing the command on the Clear Alarm button with:

    !=3D <Priority> 1 clear_alm

This should only clear the alarm if it is not a priority 1. However I do
not think this will work with multiple alarms selected. Also if the
alarm has returned to normal the priority field will no longer have the
"1" in it. It will most likely contain an "R", so if selected even a RTN
priority 1 alarm would be cleared.

It would not be possible to do this with Clear Page. The clear_page
functionality is internal to the AM. You might be able to use a
combination of matching and clear_page. Filter out priority 1 alarms
(via a pre-created match spec file), clear_page, stop the match. You
would probably see the AM changing as the matches were applied and then
stopped. Something like the following might work. I've never tried it
myself.

    almdisp CAD -match no_priority1.ams
    clear_page
    stop_match

You can write your own scripts and programs and execute them with the AM
built-in command "run" however there is no built-in to do a clear_alarm
by name it must be selected.

Good Luck,
Kathy

Subject: [foxboro] changing clear button action in CAD


I have been trudging through the documentation around alarming and
haven't quite found what I need.

I want to change the "Clear Alarm" and "Clear Page" button actions in
the CAD.  Instead of simply disabling these buttons, I'd like to be able
to have these buttons ignore alarms based upon priority.  For example, I
don't want priority 1 alarms to be cleared, but all others can.  B0193RV
taunts me with a "hint" that this can be accomplished, but I haven't
been able to discover how.

Hopefully someone knows how to do this (on a UNIX-only system).  Thanks!


Steve Shimp
