Events Menu
(Main Menu > Configure > Setup > Edit Setup > Events)
Events is a firmware option that can be activated using the credit system.
Events are certain conditions or operations which can be set up and logged according to the
time and date of the occurrence. Subsequently events can be reviewed in a list or represented on a graph. An event is made up from a Cause and an Effect. Set up a cause such as
Pen 1 going into an alarm state and the effect of this could be to start a totaliser or acknowledge the alarm.
Select the first available event eg. Event 1. In the Event 1 menu tick to enable and change
the Event tag if required. Each Event has two Causes and two Effects available, these can
be used in different combinations:
NOTICE
Remember that either Cause 1 OR Cause 2 will trigger Effect 1 AND Effect 2.
Cause 1 and Effect 1 are not linked, just as Cause 2 and Effect 2 are not linked
• An event can have two causes that triggers just one effect eg. A pen going into alarm and a
Totaliser starts, this could have the effect of starting Logging.
• An event can have one cause that has two effects, eg. A pen could go into alarm and the
effects could be that the alarm is acknowledged and a Totaliser is started. See “Event 1
example:” on page 67 .
• An event can have two causes that have two effects, eg. A pen goes into alarm and a Totalisers is started, the effects could be the alarm is acknowledged and a mark on chart is displayed to show the start of the totaliser
When selecting Totalisers and Alarms etc. ensure they are enabled and configured in the
Pens menu.
