  abstract = {<p>The objective of this document is to deliver an application with alarm and notification capability such that if designated values (threshold) such as median frequency deviation exceeds a enterable value the data on the displays and in the reporting table will be flagged in red, and a notice will be sent to a pre-established email list indicating the threshold that was exceeded, the threshold setting, the actual value of the parameter, and the date and time of violation.</p><p>All alarms and events will be saved for five years with its corresponding tags for alarming tracking and analysis purpose.</p><p>The major objectives are:</p><ul><li>Disturbance identification and data collection, Frequency Response calculation, alarms archiving (4 categories 16 types), frequency response, and Time Error Correction (TEC) archiving.</li><li>Alarm record to include alarms status by: color-coded active, acknowledgment, manually replace statuses besides the alarm data</li><li>1-panel and 4-panel multi-view geographic visualization of Frequency Response and other data parameters in the ACE-Frequency application 1-panel and 4-panel display</li><li>Alarms creation, archiving and collection for the AIE, Inadvertent and CPS-BAAL functions</li><li>Interactive data collection for: alarms, frequency response, TEC and other parameters</li><li>Interactive saving of data in CSV data format</li></ul>},
