Filtering out Alarm List using SCRIPT in ClearSCADA

[mhayat]

Hi All,

Can anybody help me with this:

I need to apply filtering on Alarm List using some kind of script. What i am trying to achieve here, i have a filter script which i use to filter out some wells on a normal list but i am looking to add a functionality which will look at the Alarm list at the same time and filtered out the alarms only associated with the filtered wells.

In short how can i edit the filter functionality using script in Alarm list.

It's possible to change the Animation properties on mimic objects during runtime.

It can get a little tricky however...

Essentially there is a bit of a hierarchy: Mimic -> Layers -> Items -> Properties (inc animations)

So if you know the layer name, and the alarm list name, you should be able to access it via

Mimic.Layers("LAYER_NAME").Items("ITEM_NAME").Filter = "*"

And then the Filter property should align with what is required.  I don't remember the exact setup for the Alarm List filters, I can't recall if it's actually a collection, in which case you'd need to do things like call .Add(), .Clear() those kind of Collection methods on it, or whether it is just a delimited string.  You could MsgBox the current value of it and get some info on this.

Thank you it worked for me.

Mimic.Layers("LAYER_NAME").Items("ITEM_NAME").Filter = "*"
