list. Use the Check All and Uncheck All buttons to select or unselect all events at

once.

Figure 49. Events Options Dialog, Event Types Tab

The Event Types tab has several options for viewing events.

First, you can select which types of events to view in the Severity section:

• Show alarms displays alarms.

• Show events displays events.

• Show service logs displays messages from the system or from

administrators, such as when an RTU has been replaced.

You can also use the Event filter section to further customize the Event Viewer.

For example:

• Show only active displays only active alarms/events, depending on your

choices for the next two checkboxes. If you leave this checkbox unselected,

all alarms/events for the selected span will be displayed in the Events

viewer. “Active” is defined as an alarm/event whose end date has not been

reached or is unknown.

• Only not acknowledged events allows you to display only those messages

you have not set as acknowledged.

A new alarm that can be set in an Events viewer is the alarm on delayed data.
