Is it possible to increase this number? It is not a property witch we can set (we can only change the number of messages witch the Hitlist works with). Hope you can help![:)] Thnks in advance, Jaap

All you can do is what Drew says and filter the messages to show alarms that are relevant. This is how I explain it ... 1000 messages can easily show you what happened during a particular time for fault diagnosis. If it's insufficient then this limitation is the least of your worries! A priority should be instead to lookat why the plant is generating so many alarms in the first place ! Finally, this limitation is in place to ensure that the alarm control does not take too long to display. If it wasn't limited and you had millions of alarms it could take minutes to load. Hope this all makes sense, if not just ask. Salma
