Alarm Extension Manager
The alarm extension manager presents alarm extensions in a table format to make it easy to see all the alarm extensions that are associated with the points in a station. To view this manager, right-click AlarmService in the Nav tree and select Alarm Ext Manager from the drop-down list of views.
Extension manager display features include:
Color coding: A colored background on a row in the alarm extension manager table indicates that the alarm state of the parent component is not Normal.
Hyperlinking: Double-click on any row in the alarm extension manager to change to the property sheet view of the selected alarm extension.
As with other tables, you can show or hide columns and use other standard table controls and options that are provided in the Table Options menu, which is located in the top right corner of each table. Also, the export toolbar icon is available on the toolbar when the alarm extension manager view is open.
