Measurement points in a typical pharmaceutical cleanroom monitoring application would normally be grouped by production area with the "Location" tag for each point identifying the machine that is being monitored. Assume you have been assigned to a single production area with a single filling machine. A page similar to the one shown below would be displayed when you log onto the CIMScan system.
A trend chart (value vs. time) can be easily displayed by selecting one or more monitoring points [1] and selecting "Trend Chart" from the "Actions" dropdown list.
Alarm Acknowledgment & User Notes
Whenever alarms are displayed they must be Acknowledged along with an Assignable Cause.
The same general mechanism is used to enter free-form user notes and link them to one or more monitoring points.
