Custom Filter

There are eight custom filters, which can be assigned by the customer in each alarm. A group of alarms in a specific location could have the same name in CUSTOM8 so that custom filtering can be easily applied.

Custom8 has a default assignment of “Equipment.” To change custom filter assignments, use the AlarmFormat parameter (Project Editor > System > Parameters). This is the only means available for filtering on a custom field. When viewing the log, you can use the new custom filter by typing it into the Custom Filter field.
