The key takeaways from the document are how to set the data plotting range default, how to navigate the event manager, and how to customize System 1 plots.

The Event Manager is structured hierarchically, so the point where you enter it in the hierarchy matters - you will only see events below that point. If you enter at a pump, you won't see events for a turbine higher in the hierarchy.

Exclusive Filtering overrides Display Discrete Filtering - if any box is checked in Exclusive Filtering, Display Discrete Filtering is not being used. They cannot be used at the same time.

How to set the Data Plotting Default Range

Data Plotting Range


Default Check it before
you Plot!
Before you do a plot, take a
quick look to see what the
current Data Plotting Range
Default is set for. If you want
to see a current value Orbit
Timebase Plot for instance
and the Data Plotting Range
is set for the last 60 days of
historical trend, that is what
you will get, and it might take
a while too. Double click on
the Data Plotting Range at
the bottom of the screen and
change it to the range you
want before you do the plot.

The Event Manager How does it really Work?


Hierarchically Structured
The Event Manager is a powerful tool in System 1 but you need to have a good
understanding of how it works (to enter the Event Manager in the Hierarchy, right click at the
point where you want to enter, and select Event Manager):
The Event Manager is Hierarchically Structured, It Does Matter at what point in the
Enterprise you enter the Event Manager.
(See Graphic below):

If you enter the Event Manager at Pump 737, you will not see events on the HP Steam
Turbine, which is higher up in the Hierarchy.

Exclusive Filtering OR Display Discrete Filtering?


The Event Manager Filtering uses Display Discrete Filtering Or Exclusive Filtering, it
cannot use both at the same time. Exclusive Filtering overrides Display Discrete Filtering. If
any box is checked in the Exclusive Filtering area, you are not using Display Discrete
Filtering. This can be confusing if not understood. (See Graphic Below):

After you change any criteria


in Exclusive Filtering or
Display Discrete Filtering,
you should always hit the
Reload Button. You may
need to increase the
Maximum Returned Events
number to a higher number
as well.

Acknowledging Alarms in
the Event Manger
In the Event Manager
Acknowledge Area, All
Means All, No matter where
you enter the Event
Manager from the Enterprise
Hierarchy, All will
acknowledge all the events
in the entire Enterprise.

Customizing Your System 1


Plots
To customize Plots to your
preferences, open the plots,
and then right click in the
plot to open the plot
configuration window. Here
you set your Scaling, View,
etc. Once configured to your
liking, use the Default Tab to
set and save your
preferences as the default
for each Plot Type
(Spectrums, Trends, any
plot). Do it once, and then it
will default to your
preferences each time.
