90 Alarm Windows is

Standard

T/MonXM comes standard with 90 alarm windows. The first win-

dow always lists All Alarms. This leaves 89 user-definable win-

dows. Alarm Windows Modules are available from DPS which pro-

vide an additional 90, 240 or 690 windows to give a total of 180,

330 and 720 windows, respectively (179, 329 and 719 available)

Fig. 6.3 - The window Definition screen

Window 1 is always the All Alarms window. All alarm information

will be automatically sent to this window. If an alarm was assigned

to another window, then it will be sent to both the All Alarms win-

dow and the other windows as well.

To access the Window Definition screen, select Windows from the

File Maintenance menu and press Enter. This screen allows you to

assign individual names and descriptions to each of the alarm

grouping windows. For example, if a group of alarms from fiber

optic equipment were assigned to Window 6, you might want to

rename Window 6 to “FIBER.”

The window data is recorded to disk only when F8 is pressed. After

F8 is pressed, the program will go back to the menu.

The Alarm Window Definition screen entries are explained in Table

6.A and Table 6.B.

Window 1 is always

the All Alarms window

The All Alarms

Window (#1) can be

renamed, but it will still

show all alarms.
