  • 6 minute read

The following table provides the cross-reference details for the Drag Reducing Agent alarm severity configuration.

Note: The messages noted in the table are designated as either alarms that generate identical events or simple events. In all cases, you can customize the message text and, where applicable, adjust the alarm severity. To update an alarm/event message, refer to the msgInfo table row for the alarm/event message identifier of interest. For more information on configuration using the msgInfo table, refer to Volume 1 of the RealTime Administrator documentation.
