Alarm Functions
You can use alarm functions to display alarms and their related alarm help pages, and to acknowledge, disable, and enable alarms. You can assign a privilege to each command that uses an alarm function, so that only an operator with the appropriate privilege can perform these commands. However, you should assign privileges to commands only if you have not assigned privileges to individual alarms.
- AlarmAck: Acknowledges an alarm. The alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the command is executed) is acknowledged. You can also use this function to acknowledge multiple alarms.
- AlarmComment: Adds a comment to the alarm summary entry at run time. The comment is added to the alarm where the cursor is positioned when the command is executed. A keyboard argument passes the comment into the function. Verify that the length of the comment does not exceed the length of the argument, or an error results.
- AlarmDisable: Disables an alarm. The alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the command is executed) is disabled. You can also use this function to disable multiple alarms.
- AlarmEnable: Enables an alarm. The alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the command is executed) is enabled. You can also use this function to enable multiple alarms.
- AlarmHelp: Displays an alarm help page for the alarm. Each alarm in your system can have an associated help page. The help page for the alarm at the position of the cursor (when the command is executed) is displayed.
