A method for monitoring technical equipment , the method comprising: - receiving , by a processor , a plurality of event inputs from one or more event status reporting units , wherein each event input belongs to one of a plurality of predefined event categories; - segregating , by the processor , a time period into an ordered sequence of time slots , wherein the time period represents a time duration within which the event inputs were received; - categorizing , by the processor , each event input according to the time slot within which said event input was received and according to the predefined event category to which said event input belongs; - assigning , by the processor , a rank to each of the predefined event categories within each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots , wherein the rank of at least one selected predefined event category within a selected one of the time slots is based on a weight of unique event inputs , the unique event inputs being categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot ; - defining , by the processor , a count of symbols to be displayed for each of the time slots , wherein each symbol represents a unique predefined event category and wherein the count of the symbols is same for all the time slots ; - displaying , on a display unit , the ordered sequence of time slots ; and - displaying , on the display unit , for each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots , the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols , wherein each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot . - receiving , by a processor , a plurality of event inputs from one or more event status reporting units , wherein each event input belongs to one of a plurality of predefined event categories; - segregating , by the processor , a time period into an ordered sequence of time slots , wherein the time period represents a time duration within which the event inputs were received; - categorizing , by the processor , each event input according to the time slot within which said event input was received and according to the predefined event category to which said event input belongs; - assigning , by the processor , a rank to each of the predefined event categories within each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots , wherein the rank of at least one selected predefined event category within a selected one of the time slots is based on a weight of unique event inputs , the unique event inputs being categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot ; - defining , by the processor , a count of symbols to be displayed for each of the time slots , wherein each symbol represents a unique predefined event category and wherein the count of the symbols is same for all the time slots ; - displaying , on a display unit , the ordered sequence of time slots ; and - displaying , on the display unit , for each time slot of the ordered sequence of time slots , the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols , wherein each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the at least one selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot . <EOS>
