Setup Event Monitor
The following 4 steps are required to setup all monitoring windows (including the activity rate monitor).
-
Monitoring Parameters. Define the time period of events to show, the threshold to trigger a system down alert and a message to show in the system alert. The view settings are used to control the automatic view. Specify the direction you want to look in longsection mode and plan view. This is also where to specify the alert magnitude for the Lite Event Monitor (the monitor without exclusions).
-
Clipping Volumes. Select which clipping volumes to use in monitoring mode. Clipping volumes are what control level plan viewing mode. Clipping volumes should cover all areas you expect events so modify your volumes if necessary to extend well outside development areas. Try not to have overlapping volumes or gaps between volumes. The clipping volume for each event is noted in the monitoring tables (smallest intersecting volume selected first).
-
Load Surveys. Load surveys here. All surveys loaded will be displayed in the monitoring windows.
-
Surveys for Distances. Select which surveys to use for computing distances. The distance to "nearest survey" is shown in the event monitoring tables. These surveys are also used to determine exclusions. Some surveys you want to display, but not compute distances or exclusion, so leave them unticked (e.g. faults, stopes).
-
Use the 3D view to check the surveys and clipping volumes are as you expect. You should also define the default home view. Set the view to a good viewpoint and save the home view by holding down the "Home" button.
-
These 4 steps are only used in the Event Monitor with Exclusion window.
-
-
Define Zones. Add zones for determining alerts and exclusions. An alert is triggered if the zone intersects with the specified surveys. The exclusion for that alert is defined by the specified exclusion zone. The shape of the zone is controlled by the number of parameters specified. Zones can be added as a sphere (radius), cylinder (radius and height) or a box (X, Y and Z spans).
-
TARP Levels. Specify TARP Level responses with action, exclusion times, colours and messages. Add as many rows as you like.
-
Trigger Thresholds. Specify a trigger magnitude, Trigger Zone ID and TARP Zone ID. This defines a unique trigger threshold.
-
Exclusion Override Defaults. This is where to set the default behaviour of exclusions. If an event is added to the alert list with no exclusion details, should it have an exclusion? You can override these settings in the monitoring window, these are just the defaults when you open the app.
The last thing to setup is the Auto-Reload control. This must be done on the computer and the account login that will be using the monitoring mode. Once the auto-reload is enabled, it applies to all apps in mXrap accessed by that computer and user.
