The summary is initially sorted by ID in descending numerical order, so that the most recent alarm
appears at the top of the list. You can sort the display by the contents of any column by clicking on the
column heading. Click the heading a second time to reverse the sort order based on that column.

default filter that filters for alarms on that device only. You can save this filter for future user by doing
the following:
1 Click the Filter button at the top of the page.
This opens the Define Alarm Log Filter window with the predefined filter already displayed.
2 Slick the Save button to save the alarm definition.

Acknowledging an Alarm

To acknowledge an alarm:
1 Select the alarm or alarms you want to acknowledge.
2 Click the Acknowledge (Ack) button at the top of the page.
This sets the state of the selected alarms to "acknowledged," and places a green check in the Acked
field of the selected alarm log entries.
When you acknowledge the most recent alarm, the state of the Alarm button in the EPICenter
Navigation Toolbar also returns to black.
You can "unacknowledge" alarms you have previously acknowledged, if needed:
1 Select the alarm or alarms.
2 Click the Unacknowledge (Unack) button at the top of the page.
The Ack or Unack operation may take a few seconds to update the database. When the update is
complete, the rows are deselected.
