Alternative for Alarm Band Aspect?
At this moment we are using the Alarm Band aspect to show the number of alarms in our PG2 Graphic Displays. But we have to use an Aspect View Wrapper to show this Alarm Band Aspect in our PG2 Display. Do you guys know a better way to do this? Because Aspect View Wrappers have negative impact on the performance of PG2 Graphics.

The Alarm Band is configured to show the number of alarms for an alarm list. You can read the property IsAlarm or IsUnAck directly from the Alarm List aspect.

Hello MHO,
You can use aspects of the type "Alarm Band" directly in an "Application Bar" (eg. top or bottom) aspect of your workplace (in the Workplace structure).
I hope this answers your question.

@J.Hollemans: I know, but we are not using the Application Bar because we only want to show the number of active alarms for that specific Graphic Display.

Ok, I see.
What if you add an "Alarm Analysis" aspect to the same object as the alarm list and use the "Process Data - Properties" of that alarm analysis aspect in your PG2 aspect?
For example map "numActiveAlarms" to the "Text" property of a text field.

I have another challenge for the PG2 Alarm Band Aspect. The old Alarm Band Aspect also shows the service state of the event collectors. You get an orange cross when one of the event collectors is not available en you get an red cross when none of the event collectors are available. From the Alarm List aspect there are no properties available for retrieving this information. Does someone of you have any suggestions for this?
