Remove the Alarm Banner
The Alarm Banner is displayed on most ViewX clients by default. Although we do not recommend it (as you may not become aware of new alarms on the system), you might want to remove the Alarm Banner so that it is not on display.
You can only remove the Alarm Banner if your User Account has the feature enabled.
WARNING
LACK OF AUDIBLE ALARM NOTIFICATION
Take care when considering whether to remove the Alarm Banner. Be aware that the audible alarm can only sound on ViewX clients on which the Alarm Banner is displayed (provided that other settings do not cause the audible alarm to be silenced). Always ensure that the Alarm Banner remains on display on at least one ViewX client that is situated alongside any ViewX clients on which the Alarm Banner has been removed. On a ViewX client on which the audible alarm will not sound, you will need to rely on other means of notification when alarms are raised on that client.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To remove the Alarm Banner on a ViewX client or Virtual ViewX client:
- Display the Home tab on the .
- Deselect Alarm Banner in the Operate command group.
The Alarm Banner is removed.
The Alarm Banner is hidden by default on a Virtual ViewX client (providing that your User Account enables you to hide the Alarm Banner ). This is by design, to provide more display space for viewing other Geo SCADA Expert displays, such as Mimics, Trends, and Queries Lists. (You can display the Alarm Banner by selecting the command from the ViewX ribbon.)
