[engnr_arsalan]

Can anyone tell me what is alarm loging? I m working on a gas turbine,there is a problem in its controller.my instrument fellow told me that alarm loging is not working,I m from mechanical engineering background.

Thanks in advance

the computer that takes notice of and produces a written record of all alarms presented to the operator
for later review, aka "Post Mortem Analysis",
is not doing its job.

Could be as simple as a printer switched to standby or paper jammed
or as serious as the program quit running for some mysterious software reason.
