HOW TO DEFINE AN ALERT
Once the variable that represents the alert condition and its associated message
exist, an alert may be defined by two methods.
Screen editing method
Display the page containing the alert variable. Enter the EDIT mode and Tab to the
"A" column. Use the [Up Arrow]/[Dn Arrow] to place the cursor across from the
variable. Then enter :
0 for FALSE = alert condition
1 for TRUE = alert condition
E for EITHER (change of state)
N for NO alert condition
The "E" directs any change of state of this variable to the change of state logger.
The "N" simply eliminates a previously defined alert condition for that variable.
ALERT command method
An alert condition may be defined or removed with the ALERT command. The format
of the command is :
ALERT name state[cr]
name is the name of the variable to be associated with the alert condition
state is
0 for FALSE = alert condition
1 for TRUE = alert condition
E for EITHER. This tags the variable for change of state recording.
N for NO alert condition (to cancel a previously existing alert condition)
