The configuration display shows the alarm's current configuration values. Note that these may have changed since the occurrence of the alarm being examined.

Alarm Details - Statistics display.

Details dialog / statistics tab

This tab shows the number of times that the alarm has been activated during each of four user-configurable time ranges. The average per day over each time range is also calculated and displayed.

Note that the maximum number of records that are counted when showing these stats is 1000. Also, when counting the records, VTScada filters for the alarm's current Area. If the alarm's Area has changed recently, the records with the old Area are not counted.

VTScada Application developers can change the number of days shown in each of the four windows.
