Setting up the event filter for the Operator protocol

To display the events in the Operator Protocol, it is necessary to explicitly specify the objects the events from which are to be received and processed:

1. Go to the Operator protocol object settings panel.
   

2. Specify the objects the events from which are to be received and processed in the Objects table (1):

   Attention!

   Events are not displayed in the Operator protocol if not any objects selected.

   1. Select the object type in the list of the Type column.

      Note

      Only objects for which the "INFORMATION" or "ALARM" value is selected in the Processing messages column on the Events tab in the ddi.exe utility are available for selection (see The Events tab section).

   2. In the list of the Number column, select the object ID. The object name will be set automatically. If the object number is not specified, then events from all objects of selected type will get to the protocol. After you select the type and number, the Name field will be automatically filled with the object name.

   3. In the list of the Event type column, select events that are to be displayed in the protocol box. If the event type is not specified, then all events registered by the selected object will get to the protocol. 

   4. If the processing of an event is to be confirmed with a password, select the Yes value in the Request password dropdown list. If there is no need to confirm the processing with a password, select the No value in this dropdown list. 

      Note

      If the processing of all events is to be confirmed with a password, set the Password for closing checkbox checked (see Setting the options for handling events in the Operator protocol).
   5. In the Region dropdown list, select the Section object corresponding to the object. 
   6. If an event of specified type is to be received and processed only when its specific parameter has a specific value, then set the parameter and value in the Parameter and Value fields respectively.
   7. If it is necessary to display the helping guide about the event processing, in the Help file field specify the full path to the text file in pdf, doc, docx, txt or other format which contains the required information. The Operator will be able to access the helping guide upon request. The installed application for viewing the files of the corresponding type is required to open the helping guide.
   8. In the Priority list, select the priority of events of the selected type, which is used when sorting by importance (see Setting the options for handling events in the Operator protocol).
   9. If it is necessary to add one or more events from the same object, do the following:
      1. Select a line in which at least the type of object has already been selected.
      2. Click the Add events button (2).
      3. In the window that opens, check the boxes next to the required events.
         
         
      4. Click OK.
      5. As a result, rows corresponding to the selected events are added to the table. All event settings are copied from the original selected event.
         
         

3. Repeat actions described in step 2 for all required objects. To add a line, go to the last line of the table and click the ↓ key. 

   Note

   To add a row to the table, select the last row and press the ↓ button on the keyboard. To remove the lines from the table, use the Ctrl + Del key combination.
4. In the Parameters table, specify additional settings for an object event. These settings are to be displayed in the Operator protocol interface box (3).
   
   1. In the Parameter field, set the parameter name. To specify the parameters sent by the event, use a debug box or a ddi file.
   2. In the Description field, set a short description of the parameter.
5. Click Apply (4).
