  Use "MSTATUS[5].CV" or "(MSTATUS & 16) > 0" to get 'Debug View Active' status.

  In MSTATUS_MASK you can select 'Debug View Active' and/or 'Value Forced'
  active.
  Then when one of these items is seen, the BAD_ACTIVE parameters is set, as
  the MSTATUS is non-zero.

  In reply to Maarten van der Waal:

  The MSTATUS is an option bit string parameter and you can build an alarm to explicitly set this and view them in an Alarm list in DeltaV.  This is not really an alarm, so I would give it the lowest priority, with Auto Acknowledge.  You'd get an event when the forced value is set and cleared, and a custom Alarm view could show the list of modules with outstanding forces.  

  You'd want to change the default alarm banner/alarm list filter to exclude this priority of alarm.
