Unlatching Alarms using an Action
It is possible to unlatch Alarms using an Action associated with a Component: when clicking or double clicking on the Component the Action is executed. The following steps explain how to create an Action that unlatches Alarms and how to associate it with a Text Label Component so when you click on the Text Label the created Action is executed. The following steps are executed from within your KEdit connected online to the Kaleido-K2 where you'll want to use this feature.
To get connected online to your Kaleido-K2
- Open your KEdit if it is not already opened.
- Select "Online" from the "Open" item of the "File" menu. A dialog containing the names of every Kaleido available on your network will appear.
- Select the Kaleido-K2 where you want to create the Action and click on the "Open" button. The Layout displayed on the selected Kaleido-K2 must now appear in your KEdit and "online - YourKaleidoName (999.999.999.999) -"YourLayoutName" | 9x9 should appear in the title of your edited layout. YourKaleidoName is the name of the selected Kaleido-K2, 999.999.999.999 is the IP address of the selected Kaleido-K2, YourLayoutName is the name of the current layout displayed on the Kaleido-K2 and, finally, 9x9 is the layout aspect ratio.
You are now connected online to your Kaleido-K2 and all the modifications you will make will be applied directly on the Kaleido-K2 (you will not need to export the Layout and the new Action to the Kaleido-K2 in order to use them).
To create an Action that unlatches Alarms
All the following steps are done inside your KEdit.
- Select "Action Browser" from the "View" menu or press F9. The Action Browser will appear.
- In the Action Browser press on the "New" button located in the left corner of the dialog. The Action Configuration dialog will appear.
- Enter the name to assign to the Action in the text field.
- In the Action List section click in the "Type" column of the first row. A drop down will appear allowing you to choose the type of Action Element to create.
- Select "Unlatch Alarm"; the "Unlatch Alarms Configuration" dialog should appear.
- Choose whether you want to unlatch the Alarms of the selected Monitor or all the Alarms of the current Layout. Please note that if you choose to unlatch the Alarms of the selected Monitor and at execution time there is no selected Monitor, nothing will happen.
- Click on the "OK" button of the "Unlatch Alarms Configuration" dialog.
- Click on the "Save" button of the "Action Configuration" dialog.
Your Action is now created.
Assigning the Action to a Text Label
If your Layout doesn't contain a Text Label that could be used to trigger the created Action add one. To add a Text Label Component to your Layout click on the Text Label tool from the Components Tool Bar, click and drag to create a Text Label of the appropriate size. If you want to add a Text Label in a Monitor, right-click on the monitor and select 'Unlock Monitor' from the contextual menu. Its border will become yellow with four yellow handles. You have now "entered" the monitor. Click on the Text Label tool from the Components Tool Bar, then click and drag inside the monitor's border to create a Text Label of the appropriate size.
To configure the Component to execute the Action on the click or double-click Trigger:
- Select the Text Label by clicking on it.
- Display the "Configuration Panel" by pressing F5, by double-clicking the Text Label, by right-clicking the text label and selecting "Configuration Panel" from the popup menu, or by selecting "Configuration Panel" from the "View" menu.
- Select the "Action" tab
- Beside "Action on Single Click" or beside "Action on Double Click" select the name of the Action to execute (in this case, the name of the Action you just created).
- Click on the "Apply" button.
Your Layout now contains a Text Label Component that when pressed will unlatch the Alarms of the current Monitor or of the current Layout depending on the configuration you chose when you created your Action.
If you want to test the association you just made, assign the Layout to a preset key of the Kaleido RCP by pressing and holding for at least 6 seconds one of the 10 function keys located at the top of the Kaleido RCP device, then click on the Text Label Component to unlatch your Alarms.
