I think it’s more accurate to say that it shows the current alarm state for each signal. That is, for every signal that currently has one or more raised alarms, it shows only the information about the most severe alarms that are currently in the raised state. If you want a comprehensive log of alarm state changes, you have a couple options. You can either use a historian to log alarm measurements and view them using historian tools or you can enable logging to the AlarmLog table in the database and view them using database tools. **To enable logging to the AlarmLog table:** 1. In the openPDC Manager, go to “Actions \> Manage Custom Actions”. 2. In the data grid at the bottom of the page, select the “ALARM!SERVICES” adapter. 3. In the “Parameters” list box in the center of the page, scroll to the bottom and select the “UseAlarmLog” parameter. 4. Change the value by selecting the radio button labeled “True” to the right of the “Parameters” list box. 5. Click the “Save” button on the far right above the data grid. 6. Click the “Initialize” button on the left above the data grid. 7. Select “Yes” when prompted for confirmation. Note that logging to the AlarmLog table is disabled by default for performance reasons. If your alarms are too chatty, it will degrade system performance. ---

Thank You sir I have 3 devices and i want to concentrate these data by concentrate output streams. How do i check that my data are concentrated? ---

You can check that your data is being concentrated by connecting the PMU Connection Tester to the openPDC output stream. ---

But sir in pmu connection tester only individual files are opened. How can i open my output stream that i created in open pdc manager? Where is database option? I can’t see in open pdc manager ---

Referring to the following page: > There are options for “TCP Channel” and “UDP Channel” that you can specify for your output stream. Whatever ports and endpoints you specify for these channels will define how you can connect to your output stream. The simplest setup would be to specify a TCP Channel and leave the UDP Channel blank. Then you only need to use the TCP tab in the PMU Connection Tester to connect to it. I don’t know what “database option” you are looking for in the openPDC Manager. Thanks, Stephen ---

Looks like it is streaming data, however your data is missing from the stream. It could be that the timestamp in your source data is old compared to real-time and this is causing the data to be dropped from the output stream. Suggest changing the settings on the output stream as follows: ![](http://discussions.gridprotectionalliance.org/uploads/default/original/1X/0b61f02f374cf95fe713445f37abb952b7817be8.png) ---

Is your source data set to loop? What happens if you reinitialize your input adapter? ---

As I understand your setup, you have a CSV input adapter that is the source of your data. Is that Input Adapter set to loop or just read from the beginning and end? When I asked the question, I was referring to reinializing the CSV input adapter then checking the data stream output in the PMU Connection Tester. ---

My second task is to concentrate my 3 devices data and want to show results in pmu connection tester and openpdc manager also. I have created output stream but in pmu connection tester results are not shown as i have send you screenshot in above discussion. My output stream is not running. It shows following result: ![](http://discussions.gridprotectionalliance.org/uploads/default/original/1X/e8cfa9ca5e9494216312c102ed3761326c3c3c3f.png) Please tell me what can be the problem and how to resolve it?
