'AN' - Alarm number - ALMCB Alarm record - Citect Scada CICODE

[Ramzi53]

Hello Everyone, 

I am trying to use the   "STRING AlarmGetDsp(INT AN, STRING Field)"   Function , where it asks as an input 'AN' , i am not sure what this AN means (maybe Alarm Number) , but i have no idea how to find it or where , 

also on the help guide they are describing AN as follows :

"AN number of an ALMCB Alarm record. Equal to AN where actual ALMCB resides + Offset into the list of ALMCB records."

the definition that introduces ALMCB which is another unknown , anyway if anyone has an idea about what is AN and where to find it i would be pleased 

Thank you

Hi @Ramzi53,

AN is the "Animation Number" where the list of alarms resides or the animation "object" the list is associated with. It might be more instructive to create a blank project based on the "Normal" template and create a page instance of the "Alarm" template, then have a look at the cicode "f(x)" on the page, how it calls a cicode function AlarmDsp(21,24,0), where 21 is the AN where the alarm list will display. This would be the same for your cicode function AlarmGetDsp, using this AN 21 for the input. You can use "Control-G" on your keyboard to bring up the Animation Number browser in Graphics Builder.
