Alarms Tab
The Alarms tab is used to create any number of alarms.
☛
Although an alarm is created and its condition may become true, it will not display unless it has been
assigned to an Alarm Display element, see
. By default, all alarms created on the Alarm tab
are automatically selected to display in Alarm Display elements on the Overlay Page. Therefore, at the
simplest level, all that is required to display an alarm is to create it.
Any number of Alarm Display elements may be added to the Overlay Page or any other page. See
and
When a single Alarm Display element has a number of alarms assigned to it, and more than one of these
alarms become active at the same time, the alarm that is higher on the Alarms tab list will display. If in the
meantime another alarm becomes active that is higher on the list, that alarm will immediately replace the
currently displayed alarm.
If Alarm Display elements are included on pages other than the Overlay Page, the alarm will only become visible
if that page is also the one that is currently displayed. However, that same alarm will nevertheless display on
the Overlay Page and be visible (unless it has been deselected). Therefore, the possibility exists that the same
alarm could be displayed twice.
