Saving the Alarm Summary Object's Current Settings

To save the Alarm Summary object's current settings:

  1. In the iFIX WorkSpace, double-click the Alarm Summary object. The Alarm Summary Configuration dialog box appears.
  2. Click Save. This saves the currently selected Alarm Summary object's settings into the AlarmSummary.ini file in the LOCAL folder (by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Proficy\iFIX\LOCAL), so that subsequent Alarm Summary objects that you add to your pictures will use these settings by default.

IMPORTANT: Be aware that the filtering string added in run mode will not get reloaded when navigating away from the picture and then returning back to the picture with the Alarm Summary object. The AlarmSummary.ini file is read only by the new AlarmSummary.OCX when it is added in configuration mode.
