Current Alarms
A list of current alarms can be viewed by accessing the Current Alarms dialog. (A "current" alarm is
one which has been raised but is not yet cleared and acknowledged.) The current alarm status viewer
can be accessed in a variety of ways, and is dependant on the setup of the runtime application. Some
applications may allow access to the dialog via the context-sensitive floating menu, whilst others may
allow access via a pushbutton. Refer to chapter 6, Projects or chapter 9, Animation as appropriate.
The Current Alarms dialog is as follows:
The Current Alarm dialog always shows the alarm messages listed in order with the highest priority
at the top.
The widths of the alarm fields can be widened or narrowed as required using the
mouse to drag the column boundaries.
The Acknowledge Selected Alarm toolbar button acknowledges the alarm which is
currently highlighted in the alarm status dialog. This has no effect if the alarm has already
been acknowledged.
The Acknowledge All Outstanding Alarms toolbar button unconditionally acknowledges
all outstanding alarms. Any unacknowledged alarms become acknowledged. This has no
effect on alarms that are already acknowledged.
The Print Contents of Alarm Status View toolbar button causes the messages in the alarm
status dialog to be printed. Before printing, ensure that the printer has been set up correctly.

The occurrence of an alarm condition, and any subsequent change of state, is recorded in the alarm
history log. Alarm messages recorded in the log can be displayed using the Alarm History dialog.
The Alarm History dialog can be accessed in a variety of ways, and is dependant on the setup of the
runtime application. Some applications may allow access to the dialog via the context-sensitive
floating menu, whilst others may allow access via a pushbutton. Refer to chapter 6, Projects or
chapter 9, Animation as appropriate. The Alarm History dialog is as follows:
