c. Alarm Color – Inactive Unacknowledged – the color used for text that is
displayed when the alarm is no longer active but did not get acknowledged by
the HMC operator. Note: not available for Historical Alarm Type.
d. Alarm Severity – ten levels (0-9) used to represent which alarms should be
displayed. For example, if alarm severity level is set to 3, then only alarm
messages in the Alarm Database with Severity levels of 3, 4 … 9 will be
displayed.
e. Alarm Type – select Real Time to display alarms as they occur. Select Historical
to display alarms captured using the History feature in the Alarm database.
f. Background Color - determines the background color of the Alarm list. Click on
the button to display the color palette and select a color.
g. Border – optional line around the periphery of the alarm list.
h. Column Spacing – number of pixels between the columns of data displayed (see
Select Display Fields).
i. Font Color – color of the columns of data displayed. Note: this setting only
applies if Alarm Type is set to Historical. For Real Time Alarm Types, the Alarm
Colors (see above) take precedent over Font Color.
j. Scroll Bar Style – Use the scroll bar feature if the data to be displayed is larger
than the Alarm list. The vertical scroll bar is used to easily scroll through the list
of alarm messages that are displayed. The horizontal scroll bar is used to scroll
through the columns of data (i.e. time, date, message, acknowledge time/date,
etc.)
k. Select Display Fields – determines what data is to be displayed when an alarm
occurs:
i. Alarm Text – maximum of 52 characters is allowed.

This is useful if there might be more alarms than can be shown in the
area allocated. Then the operator knows what section of the total
alarm list he is viewing.
iii. On-Time- this is the time at which an alarm became active. Options are:
HH:MM:SS, MM:SS, and HH:MM. (H=hour, M=minute, S= second).
iv. Off-Time- this is the time at which an alarm became inactive.
v. On-Date- this is the date at which an alarm became active. Format is
DD/MM/YY. (D=day of the month, M=month, Y=year).
vi. Off-Date- this is the date at which an alarm became inactive.
vii. Active- this simply indicates if an alarm is currently active or not.
Options are: Y/N or Yes/No. Not available for historical alarms.
viii. Ack-Time- this is the time at which an alarm was acknowledged by the
HMC operator.
ix. Ack-Date- this is the date at which an alarm was acknowledged by the
HMC operator.
