8.3.2.1 Notification of New Events
To know when events have been received, examine the event notification indicator lights in the Event Categories
window. The indicator lights will change to corresponding color of the most severe alarm logged.
To see new events as they arrive (real time), open up the EDACS or All Events Browser. Place the scroll bar at the
bottom of the browser list; as new events arrive, they are appended to the end of the list.
A listing of EDACS events may be found in LBI-39215. According to the established naming convention, each event
name is prefaced with letters that generally represent the reporting EDACS device. See Table 2 for the Letter associations.
8.3.2.2 Selecting Events Within a List
To perform an operation on specific events, select events by
clicking the mouse button when the pointer is on top of them.
When an event is selected, the text appears in reverse video.
•
To select one event, use the mouse select button (usually
left button) to click on the event line. This action
deselects all other events.
•
To select multiple events that are not next to each other in
the list, press [CTRL] and hold it down, and then use the
mouse select button to select the events you want. This
action enables you to select additional events without
deselecting the others.
•
To select a contiguous range of events, press the mouse
select button while dragging the pointer across desired
events. This action deselects all events outside the range.
•
To toggle a range of events, press [CTRL] and the mouse select button while dragging the pointer across events you
want toggled. This action does not affect events outside the range.
