Thanks to everybody who has responded to my problem. There is still a
problem, and here is what I have done:
I am very familiar with the loadalmpnl and prtalmpnl commands and use them
all the time. They make the panel buttons work and produce the exact file
contents I would expect. I am not having trouble with the AApan file and
key-pushing functions. My problem is: I cannot get the associated AAtab file
to
be recognized (can't get alarms to light ANY LED's).
Before this last round of help, I had already checked for duplicates in the
...AAtab file using the Excel route (and thanks everyone for the other
dup-checking utilities which I will keep in my bag of Foxboro Tricks), and I
actually started from scratch with FoxPanels configurator and set up a simple
panel. Sure enough, the AApan file created made the key-pushes work, but I
could
not get any LED's to light. I verified that the ...AA... files I had
previously created had both the same name and same format as those created by
FoxPanels, thus eliminating that path. The only difference was that
FoxPanels, of
course, created the <LBUG>.apc file, whereas I had never seen that file in
/usr/fox/alarms before. I thought, "aha, here is the problem, even though
dozens of other workstations have been working successfully without it for
years". Despite all this, the new ...AAtab file apparently isn't getting
recognized, as the new annunciator setup would not report any alarms to the
LED's.
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to make sure everyone understood the
situation. That given, is there any wisdom to be had?
