Ship Arriving Alarm

For this example, we are going to build an alarm that will be triggered when the BURRARD OTTER II SeaBus crosses "SeaBus Line L" (see below).

Creating a SeaBus arriving alarm based on a previously defined zone ("Seabus line L"):


  1. Click the Alarm Designer button  to open the Alarm Designer.

  2. Select "<New>" from the Select Alarm drop-down list.

  3. Type “SeaBus Alarm” into the Alarm field.

  4. Leave the Enable box checked.

  5. Select “Middle” from the Alarm Level drop-down list.

  6. Type “Seabus arriving” in the Message field.

  7. Select “Blue” from the Color drop-down list.

  8. Type "0" [minutes] into the Repeat Interval field (in this example, we are dealing with a one-time event).

  9. Select "OR" from the Logical Operator drop-down list (in this example, only one condition must be satisfied in order to generate an alarm event).

  10. Select “Seabus Line L” from the Zone drop-down list.
    Note: Refer to "Line", found under the Zone Examples heading, for a detailed explanation on creating zones.

  11. Leave the Filter field empty.

  12. Select "On Enter" from the Condition 1 drop-down list.

  13. Leave Condition 2 empty.

  14. Leave “0” in the Min Speed field.

  15. Leave “0” in the Max Speed field.

  16. Leave the Do not show in Alarm Events Window box unchecked. 
    Note: When an alarm event happens (e.g. SeaBus crosses the line), the Alarm Events window will pop-up.

Optional Steps:

Click Apply to save changes and click OK to return to the main view.

As soon as the alarm condition occurs, the Alarm Event window will appear.

Note: If the alarm has "Middle" or "High" priority, the Alarm Event window will pop-up automatically. Check Hide and click Apply to confirm that you have read the notification. After the confirmation, the Alarm Event window will no longer pop-up until the next event.

Tip: Click Hide All to confirm multiple alarm notifications at once.

As soon as the alarm condition occurs:
