Use an alarm viewer control at runtime

The Alarm Viewer control includes a shortcut menu that provides operators quick access to commands that can be applied to the display object of one or more selected alarms, alarm groups, tags, and priorities.

The following lists shows the commands available from the Alarm Viewer control shortcut menu:

• Ack Selected - Acknowledges the selected alarm(s).

• Ack Others - A sub-menu appears that lists other acknowledgement commands.

  • Ack All - Acknowledges all the alarms in the current alarm query. Because the alarm grid has only a limited display area, the Ack All command may acknowledge alarms that are not visible in the grid.
