SUMMARY
Alarm logging on gas turbines is a critical function that records all alarms for operator review and post-mortem analysis. Issues with alarm logging can stem from minor problems, such as a printer being in standby mode or a paper jam, to more severe software malfunctions where the logging program ceases to operate. Understanding these potential causes is essential for troubleshooting alarm logging effectively.
