SpecView can monitor any boolean variable as an Alarm, also Alarm/Event Menu

 

This Strategy Controller example shows how to turn on a digital output whenever SpecView detects a new alarm.

 

SC-vbe1

 

This event is watching (or monitoring) the SpecView variable 'SpecView.NewAlarm' which will be set to 'On' when any of the boolean variables or boolean instrument parameters - which have the 'Alarm' property enabled - change to 'On'.

 

When there is a new alarm condition and the SpecView User Variable 'Alarm Check' is 'On', the event will trigger. The use of event control would allow the user to disable this event by setting the SpecView.Alarm Check variable to 'Off'.

 

The appropriate action is shown below - The variable 'Relays.Dig Output 1' will be set to 'On':
