The AFC
Report Writer
The AFC
Report Writer is a powerful, yet easy to use utility for generating alarm and
function change history reports.
Highly
versatile and driven by pop-up menus and prompts, the AFC Report Writer presents
the user the with all menu options they need to:
- Fix the period of
time the report covers by specifying start/end dates and times, or the last
so many records or the last so many hours
- Limit the type(s) of
records to include in the report to; records associated with Units or Tags,
alarm records, function change records, or messages
- Report on only those
records that match a Tag or Unit name, or only report Tags associated with a
particular Unit
- Only include those
records that were logged by a given CMXä
program
- specify only those
records logged by a Tag, Unit, Checkpoint, Console, or Time related function
- To report by
audible, console, sequence interrupt, or log only alarm priority
- And, for systems
that take advantage of CMXä
multi-console
capability, only records associated with a particular console or changes
made from a particular console can be reported.
- Output can be sorted
by record type, Unit name, or Tag name and can be directed to a file or to
the printer.
