Event Filter

2. Enter the

Name

that best describes the filter being defined or Workstation the

filter is to be used at. Enter up to 30 characters for the Filter Name.

3. Select the

Time Zone

that defines when the Event Filter is to start passing non-filtered events.

Filtered events (those that have the red circle and slash) are never displayed. Non-filtered events

(those that do not have the red circle and slash) are displayed according to the time zone assigned.

With a 24 hour time zone non-filtered events will be displayed all of the time. The Start Time of the

Time Zone is when the non-filtered events begin to display and the Stop Time is when they are no

longer displayed. When the time zone is inactive all non-filtered events quit being displayed.

For example if there were three Locations within the system and Location 1 events are to be

displayed all of the time at this workstation, Location 2 events are to be displayed from 12:00 PM

to 8:00 AM, and Location 3 events are to be displayed from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM three filters

would be defined.

The first Event Filter would be defined so that Location 2 and 3 would be filtered (red circle/slash)

and Location 1 would be non-filtered (no red circle/slash) with a 24 hour time zone assigned.

The second Event Filter would be defined so that Location 1 and 3 would be filtered (red

circle/slash) and Location 2 would be non-filtered (no red circle/slash) with a 12:00 PM Start to

8:00 AM Stop time zone assigned.

The third Event Filter would be defined so that Location 1 and 2 would be filtered (red circle/slash)

and Location 3 would be non-filtered (no red circle/slash) with a 6:00 PM Start to 8:00 AM Stop

time zone assigned.

Alarm Delay Filter

determines if this filter will be used to delay alarm events from displaying at

this workstation unless the alarms are not acknowledged at a different workstation within the Alarm

Delay Time which is defined next. The alarm delay filter option applies to alarms that are not

filtered (no red circle/slash). Filtered alarms (red circle/slash) are never displayed.

Alarm Delay Time

defines in minutes the amount of time that non-filtered input alarms should

go unacknowledged at a different workstation before displaying on this workstation.
