<p>One aspect of the alarm analysis tools cope with insufficiently understood process characteristics, requiring sensitivity to unusual behaviour and rapid exploration and diagnosis. The configuration of the alarms and their associated displays are governed by generalized display policies applicable to groups of alarms rather than by detailed configuration of individual alarm action. To aid an operation in the configuration process, another aspect of the invention concerns an alarm selection method and apparatus operating on a computer (6), which comprises an application window displaying a main alarm list, a selection means to select the alarm indications displayed in the alarm list, and an operations means producing a main alarm list subset having characteristics of the selected alarm indications. <IMAGE></p> |
