What s going on?&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>-Alarmed in Arkansas</i> <br><br> <b>Answer (Sean Leonard, VP of OPC):</b><br> What filtering do you have set in place? If your filtering is too restrictive, you may be filtering out all your alarms. To quickly test multiple filtering settings, you may want to use an A&E Test tool like MatrikonOPC A&E Explorer. It s free and faster to configure when you re doing initial testing on alarms coming out of your OPC Server. <br><br> Download the product used in this solution <a href="http://matrikonopc.com/products/opc-desktop-tools/opc-ae-explorer.aspx?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=ConnectionsOct09" ClickThruID="8" IncrementField="Click_Through_8" target="_blank">here</a>! <br><br> </div> <a name="3"></a> <div id="newsletter_subtitle">Training - Become an OPC Expert</div> <div id="textnormal"> Click <a href="http://www.matrikonopc.com/training/workshops/course-schedule.aspx?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=MatrikonOPC&utm_content=ConnectionsOct09" ClickThruID="9" IncrementField="Click_Through_9" target="_blank">here</a> for the schedule! <br />Find training in your area. </div><br /> </td> <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top" width="282"> <a name="4"></a> <div id="newsletter_subtitle">Integrators - Partner for Success!</div> <div id="textnormal"> Novaspect joins the MatrikonOPC Integrator Partner Program as a Gold Level partner.
