Unit Filter

  You may use the Alarm Log Viewer to review selected types of alarms that the management program accumulates automatically in its alarm buffer. When this buffer becomes full, the program deletes its oldest alarm record to make room for newer alarms.
  Note: This alarm log is not related to the alarm log file generated when alarm logging is enabled in the Customize dialog box.
  This feature enables you to filter selected alarm types by unit, port, or PU. You may view the alarms either on-line or print them on your default printer.
  By default, all alarms accumulated for the current day are displayed. Alternatively, you may view alarms for up to six previous days, limited by the buffer's capacity.
  From the global status window, click on the Alarm button or open the Tools menu and select Alarm Viewer.

  To select an alarm log for a different day of the week, click the down arrow to open the week day scroll list and select the desired day of the week.
