The Alarm Page and Alarms

Alarms notify you of certain conditions or events within your physical equipment, including equipment failures and values that have risen higher or fallen lower than normal.   With the alarm page, you can view and acknowledge current alarms, or review past events.

You can use any of the following methods to open the Alarm page:

•    Click the Menu button in the Display Manager's navigation bar, and choose "Alarm Page".

•    Click the Alarm symbol in the title bar.

•    Click the "Alarm Page" page change button in the navigation bar (if one is present).

Depending on the specific requirements of your VTS application, the list of data displayed on the Alarm page might include:

•    The current state of the alarm

•    The priority of the alarm

•    A short description of the type of alarm

•    The time and date at which the alarm was set or cleared

•    The area to which the alarm belongs

•    The alarm message, which includes the description from the tag that generated the alarm and the value of that tag at the moment the alarm was triggered.
