This dialog box allows you to control the types of alarms a View node receives upon startup. By default, the View node receives all the current SCADA node summary alarms that have occurred prior to the time the View node started.
The Startup Queue Configuration dialog box displays the following items:
Enable Time Filter
Allows you to filter the alarms received by the View node by selecting the Enable Time Filter check box and entering a time interval. When you do this, the View node receives all current SCADA node alarms upon startup in addition to all previous alarms within the time interval you specify.
Filter Alarms Older Than – Hours
Allows you to specify the number of hours previous to startup in which you want to receive the SCADA node's alarms. Valid entries are from 0 to 23. The default is 23.
NOTE: The default setting, 23 hours and 59 minutes, displays all of the SCADA node's alarms that occurred between the time the View node started up and the previous day.
Filter Alarms Older Than – Minutes
Allows you to specify the number of minutes previous to startup in which you want to receive the SCADA node's alarms. Valid entries are from 0 to 59. The default is 59.
NOTE: The default setting, 23 hours and 59 minutes, displays all of the SCADA node's alarms that occurred between the time the View node started up and the previous day.
Summary Alarms Only
Allows you to receive only summary alarms on the View node. To display summary and operator alarms on the View node, clear the Summary Alarms Only check box.
NOTE: If this check box is cleared when using the Alarm Startup Queue, duplicate alarms will be displayed on all alarm destinations except alarm summary every time the connection to a SCADA node is established.
