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

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.

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:

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.
