Alarm Help

This document outlines the proposed enhancements to the Alarm Help System based on Clara’s discussion. Key features include displaying only one line per Device Processing Element (DPE) indicating fatal, error, or warning statuses with a full background color. The design will feature a simplified version with no modification options. Users can click to control the device or view help screens. The organization and creation of help files are addressed, including naming conventions and directories for various device types. Custom help pages can be configured as needed.

  1. Alarm Help

  2. Points to discuss (from Clara) • Display • Only one line per DPE (fatal, error, warning) • Background colour should fill whole row • Simple version of display with no modification options • More Information • Click to a panel to control the device and give information • Click to view a help screen • Help Files • How to organise them • How to create them • How to display them

  3. Current Alarm Help • Prototype based on discussion at FWWG • Help files are assumed to be HTML but can be other types • Opened using System Settings command of DEN • Each DPE can be given a custom help page • Without a custom help page, a naming convention is used to find the relevant file

  4. Naming convention • Search path is • <proj_path>/help/en_US.iso88591/AlarmHelp/ • Naming convention allows • Help for a particular DPE of a particular Device • Help for a particular Device • Help for a particular DPE of a Device Type • Help for a Device Type • Generic Default Help Page

  5. Naming convention • Sub directories hold the four different types • For devices: • DeviceDPE/ or DeviceDP/ • File name is equal to DP name (with element) • Can include system name or not • All : and / are converted to _ • For device types: • DeviceTypeDPE/ or DeviceType/ • File name is equal to DP Type name (with element) • Can include system name or not • File names can end with “.html”, “.htm”, “.xml” or no suffix

  6. Storing custom help pages • For a DPE you can configure a custom help page • Something outside the naming convention • This is stored in the _general.._string_05 attribute • PVSS Alert Panel • In the original proposal it was also chosen to set the Alert Panel (in the _alert_hdl config) to some generic FW panel • This is not needed as a panel could be opened by writing a custom “onClick” function • This allows the PVSS Alert Panel to remain user definable

  7. Demo

  8. Ideas / Questions • In the example, XML with XSLT is used • Separates contents from layout • XML file is simple to make automatically • Expert has to input text at some point – how? • What other things to do from the Alarm Screen? • Go to the FSM panel • Go to the operation panel • See alarm details… what else?

  9. Points to discuss (from Clara) • Display • Only one line per DPE (fatal, error, warning) • Background colour should fill whole line • Simple version of display with no modification options • More Information • Click to a panel to control the device and giving information • Click to view a help screen • Help Files • How to organise them • How to create them • How to display them
