3.1 hvChIsOnGuardian.ctl

Script needed for raising the alarm in case when the actual state (ON/OFF) of the CAEN channel is different than the state defined by user. This could happen e.g. in a case of hardware failure, when hardware cannot keep the voltage up.

Script monitors the state of all the CAEN channels. The alarm will be raised if the state set by user does not match with the read value of the same parameter.

NOTE: This script cannot detect if the channel were switched ON/OFF from other sources than PVSS (e.g. RS-232 terminal). It only compares the value of 'xx.actual.isOn' (where xx is the depone of the channel) to value of 'xx.settings.onOff' (located in PVSS database) and raises an alarm if these two values are not equal. Therefore a "fake alarm" is being generated in case when e.g. switching OFF the channel using some other method than PVSS if the channel were switched ON via PVSS system.
