How can a specific alarm be acknowledged inside E3Alarm via scripts?
Alarm acknowledgement via scripts has been a feature of E3 since its version 3.2. To do so, three new methods were added to E3Alarm:
AckSelected: acknowledges the selected alarm.
AckCurrentFilter: acknowledges all alarms in the current filter.
AckAll: acknowledges all alarms.
An example of script used for acknowledging a specific alarm inside E3Alarm is this (executed at E3Alarm’s DblClick event):
Sub E3Alarm1_DblClick()
Set alarme = GetFocusedEvent() ‘ takes data from the alarm selected at E3Alarm and saves it at Alarm object
If TypeName(alarm)=”IEventStatus” then ‘ tests the alarm type
Application.GetObject(alarm.FullAlarmSourceName).Ack(Application.User)
‘ acknowledges according to the information at alarm object
End if
End Sub
Set alarme = GetFocusedEvent() ‘ takes data from the alarm selected at E3Alarm and saves it at Alarm object
If TypeName(alarm)=”IEventStatus” then ‘ tests the alarm type
Application.GetObject(alarm.FullAlarmSourceName).Ack(Application.User)
‘ acknowledges according to the information at alarm object
End if
End Sub
NOTE: Attached to this article is a sample application developed with E3 version 3.2 Build 229.
