10.7 Alarms
Alarm presentation to the operator is highly configurable and beyond the scope of this document to
describe fully. For more information refer to the graphics editor help file. This section presents a typical
configuration thereby providing an introductory description on what the operator should expect.
The alarm object is generally used to enunciate alarms to the operator. While the display characteristics
of this object is configurable, it is generally displayed as a button that changes colors to indicate the

alarm states and the default colors associated with these states.
