Use the Distributed Display to monitor local alarms

You can use the Distributed Alarm Display object to show and acknowledge both local and remote alarms.

To set up a display to monitor just local alarms

1. Right-click the Distributed Alarm Display object and then select Properties. The Alarm Configuration dialog box appears.

2. In the Alarm Query box, type: \InTouch!$System

   You can substitute any valid alarm group for $System. You can also define an alarm group list containing just \InTouch!$System, and then use this group list instead of a direct reference.

3. Configure the other parameters for the type of display and any filtering your application requires.
