Event List

The Event List displays all the detected alarms with each alarm in a separate row. This window is your main starting point for dealing with alarms.

When opened, the Event List displays in the main work area of the user interface. When it is closed, depending on the profile Event List may be either entirely hidden or collapsed to a vertical bar down the left side of the screen.

The display of Event List is limited to 10000 event lines; if such limit is exceeded, the status bar of Event List will indicate the display limit and the total number of events detected (for example, 10000 of 50000).
