Annunciator Alarming
Receive Reliable Notification of System Alarms from Devices on the Network Viewpoint Monitoring Annunciator Alarming actively monitors measured values and generates alarms. Alarms can be configured to be activated whenever a digital status changes state, or an analog value changes beyond any programmed threshold. Alarms can be delivered through multiple visual, audio, or e-mail notification channels. Furthermore, the Monitoring and Alarm Sentry ensures annunciators and alarms are always active.
Reliable notification of system alarms in a single visual dashboard view Audio Notification Separate sounds for alert status and alarm status Audio notification of alarms and alerts continue until the alarm state is acknowledged by an operator Visual Notification Annunciator screen shows the status of the monitored point The alarmed point will flash in a color chosen by the user until the alarm is reset by the operator Email Notification Alarming of any monitored point can automatically generate an email to notify users of the alarm A different email address can be entered for each monitored point Monitoring and Alarm Sentry Ensures annunciators and alarms are always active, even when the annunciator screens or the Viewpoint Monitoring software is closed in error Reliable Alarm Notification Create alarms on monitored digital and/or analog data points Configured alarm warnings delivered through Audio, Visual or Email Notification channels

Automatic Event and Waveform Retrieval

Automated archiving of event and waveform data from GE's Multilin devices ensures availability of detailed information for diagnosing power system events.

Event Logging

The event records from GE Multilin devices can be automatically downloaded from each device and stored in a centralized, system-wide, sequence of event record. Viewpoint Monitoring will continually poll each GE Multilin device to see if any new events have been added to that device's event record. Once a new event has been detected, the event record will be downloaded and the new events will be stored in the system-wide sequence of events record.

Event Viewing

The Event Viewer centrally stores and displays information about preset and configured systems events. Each event in the record contains the following information. This data can be sorted by any of the fields indicated below:

Event Time
Event Type
Source Name

Source Type
Event Cause

Create comprehensive, centralized, system-wide sequence of event records for analysis of power system faults.

Waveform Archiving

The waveform (oscillography) files from GE's Multilin devices can be automatically downloaded from each device and stored on your hard drive. Similar to Event Logging, Viewpoint Monitoring will continually poll each GE Multilin device to see if any new waveform files have been created. Once a new waveform has been detected, the file will be downloaded by Viewpoint Monitoring to the centralized data repository.

Waveform Viewing

View and analyze waveform fault data that has been recorded from a power system device in a time-based, phasor quantity or tabular view. This Waveform View utility provides functionality to:

Merge and overlay waveforms that were recorded from multiple devices
