In situations where you have a cluster
of alarms in rapid succession it might be useful to freeze the list for
a short period at its current status. The freeze period is predefined
by the development engineer during system design and cannot be changed
by the operator.
Default setting: 30 seconds
Procedure
In
the Tree View, select the list
you wish to freeze.
Move
into the selected list in the right-hand section of the screen.
In the Actions
menu, select Freeze.
For the options
of the Actions menu to become
available, you must have moved the cursor out of the Tree
View into the Alarm List
or the Event List.
Shortcut
You are inside
the list and a message line is selected.
Click the right
mouse button.
This opens the
Actions function box so that you
can now conveniently activate the Freeze
function.
A seconds counter
in the screen title bar indicates the ‘frozen’ status and the number of
seconds still to go.
