5.3.5 Clear History
Select Clear History from the Alter Status Main Menu, then choose NCA-2 HISTORY or NODE HISTORY N . The NCA-2 will nav-
igate to the Clear History menu, where there are three options: ALARM HISTORY, which clears only the alarm history buffer, EVENT
HISTORY, which clears only non-alarm events in the history buffer, and ALL HISTORY, which clears both the alarm buffer and the
event buffer. Once you clear a history buffer, the data is not recoverable. BACK or <ESC> will return the user to the Alter Status menu.
Refer to Figure 5.11 on page 60.

5.3.6 Walk Test
When connected to an FACP that supports the function (e.g. NFS2-640 and NFS2-3030), the NCA-2 walk test allows you to remotely
test all active alarms on the monitoring network. There are two types of tests: Basic and Advanced. The advanced test allows you to
retain Control-By-Event (CBE) and Cooperative-Control-By-Event (CCBE) actions.
To perform a walk test, select the corresponding option from the Alter Status menu.
• BASIC/ADVANCED - Toggles between the basic and advanced Walk Test. When ADVANCED is selected, there is an END TEST
option. END TEST is not an option for the basic test.
• SILENT/AUDIBLE - future use.

trouble equation. CCBE (Cooperative Control-by-event) is the term used to refer to programming over the network in this manner.
