The console recipient manages the transfer of alarms between the alarm history and the alarm console. For example, the console recipient gets unacknowledged alarms from the alarm history and updates the history when they are actually acknowledged. Console recipient properties are displayed and edited in the console recipient property sheet, as shown in Figure 240.
Console recipient properties are described in the following list:
-
Time Range
allows you to set a limited period of time during a day for collection of alarms, using the following parameters:
-
Start Time
a time of day to begin alarm collection, defined by hour, minute and second.
-
End Time
a time of day to end alarm collection, defined by hour, minute and second.
-
-
Days Of Week
option boxes allow selection of specific days to collect alarms.
-
Transitions
option boxes allow selection of specific alarm transitions to display in the console. Only those transitions that are selected will be displayed in the console – even though the alarms are still saved into the alarm history.
The default view of the console recipient is the alarm console view (for details about the console view, see About the alarm console).
