T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

Event Logging

Event logging is a standard feature of T/MonXM which reports all

system events to the History report file. This feature allows retrieval

of information on items such as the UPS (optional) going on/off

battery power. Other activities reported include printer failures,

polling addresses on/off line, LED Displays off-line, and T/MonXM

system off-line.

Control Point Operation

Control points are described by English text that appears on the

screen. Control points may be defined to latch (requiring a release

command to unlatch) or operate momentarily. Two methods of oper-

ating control points are used in T/MonXM, Labeled Controls and

Site Controls.

With the Labeled Controls method, a group of control points can be

accessed and operated from any window on the screen. This allows

quick operation of controls that have a high level of urgency. Points

to be operated via this method are defined during data base prepara-

tion.

Points defined as Site Controls can be accessed and operated from

only the window for their site. This allows a higher level of securi-

ty, since access to some windows can be restricted to only certain

users. Points to be operated via this method must also be defined in

the data base.

Derived Alarms/Controls

Matrix formulas can be defined that will evaluate specified alarms

and generate a common or higher level alarm from them. The same

matrix can be used to automatically operate a control point.
