AlarmGetDelayRec

Gets the delay setting for an alarm via the alarm record number.

This is a blocking function. If the function is called from a foreground task that is unable to block, the return value will be -1 and a hardware alarm set.

Syntax

LONG AlarmGetDelayRec(LONG Record, INT Type [, STRING ClusterName] )

Record:

• AlarmFirstCatRec() or AlarmNextCatRec() - used to search for a record by alarm category, area, and type (acknowledged, disabled, etc.).

• AlarmFirstPriRec() or AlarmNextPriRec() - used to search for a record by alarm priority, area, and type (acknowledged, disabled, etc.).

• AlarmFirstTagRec() or AlarmNextTagRec() - used to search for a record by alarm tag, name, and description.

• AlarmGetDsp() - used to find the record that is displayed at a specified AN, for either an alarm list or alarm summary entry. Set the sField argument in AlarmGetDsp() to "RecNo".
