Hi,

This extract from document B0193DF Rev M (Display Commands) may be of help to 
you.


PAGEACK

S/W Release: 3.0
Use: For alarming, acknowledges all blocks that have an .UNACK or
.ALMSTA parameter connection present on the graphic.
With FoxView, this command also acknowledges all blocks with the
parameters designated in the list.
Syntax: dmcmd pageack [n] [-params <list>]
where n is a CRIT value.
where -params is a list of block parameters (used with FoxView only)
Remarks: This command allows you to configure a display button that acknowledges
all blocks that have an unacknowledged (.UNACK) or alarm status
(.ALMSTA) connection present on the graphic.
2. Alphabetical List of Display Commands B0193DF - Rev M
83
For FoxView, the -params argument expands the block parameters to be
acknowledged via pageack. In addition to blocks with .UNACK or
.ALMSTA status, the blocks with the specified parameters (for example, -
params .STAIND, .BLKSTA) are also acknowledged.
You may prevent high priority alarms from being acknowledged by specifying
a critical (CRIT) value 1-5 in the command so that if the .ALMSTA
parameter shows a CRIT value greater than that specified in the command,
the .UNACK parameter remains unchanged. This command may
be assigned to an annunciator panel key. It affects only the graphic display
from which it was invoked. If invoked from an annunciator key or Display
Manager script, it affects only those .UNACK (.ALMSTA) parameters
assigned to the base display. Overlays are not affected. This function
applies only to user graphics and not to the CAD display.

Kind regards,
 
Jeremy Thompson

Subject: [foxboro] pageack command

Hi List,
I would like to know what does the pageack command when it is executed. It set 
to false all the .UNACK connection in the graphic regardless the actual state? 
I mean, if one connection has the .UNACK false, the pageack command also set 
this connection to false or it leave the parameter in that state?

I am trying to figured out if the command put all the connection to false or if 
it checks the connection first and then, if the actual state is true, the 
command set it to false. In the first case, the pageack works as if it would be 
a broadcast command.

Thanks in advance.
