Four Ways to Access SpectroRx
There are four ways to access SpectroRx.
• You can access SpectroRx from the Alarm Manager window in
SpectroGRAPH. See Accessing SpectroRx from SPECTRUM in this
chapter.
• You can access SpectroRx from anywhere in SPECTRUM, whether or not
alarms are present. See Accessing SpectroRx from SPECTRUM in this
chapter.
• Users (and integrated third party applications) can access SpectroRx from
the command line. These procedures are described in Chapter 6.
• You can also access a read-only version of SpectroRx from the Web. From
this interface, you can access the show all cases or search for similar cases
functions. See Chapter 8 for more information.
Each way brings up a SpectroRx window.
SpectroRx Windows and Functions
SpectroRx consists of one primary window, the SpectroRx Case window and a
secondary case list window, which change slightly depending on the action you
are performing and whether you are using the Web, NT, or UNIX interface:
• Case window
This window is displayed when you invoke SpectroRx from an alarm in
the Alarm Manager. The window displays information about the selected
alarm. From this window, you can find similar cases, develop a case for the
selected alarm, develop a new case, read of possible solutions, run a
solution, add a solution of your own, and so on.
• Case List window
This window is displayed when you select either the Show All Cases or the
Find Similar Cases option from either the SpectroRx Case window or from
the SpectroRx options menu accessed from the Alarm Manager. In either
situation, another SpectroRx window appears containing a list of case
summaries.
Each item in the list contains the case number, the problem summary, and
the solution summary. You can quickly see which case might be most
appropriate for your needs. To select it, click on it with the mouse.
