cleared by default.
Acknowledgement
Required Requires the input point to be manually acknowledged to end the alarm

Store Only Most
Recent Stores in the Alarm Summary log only the most recent alarm received on the
input point. All alarms are stored in the Alarm History log, regardless of
whether this check box is selected. This option is selected by default.
