Set priority ranges for alarm records

You can use alarm priority ranges to filter alarms. The Alarm Control can show alarms within a given range with a different text and background color. Use the AlarmColor.Range Property group in scripting to set the breakpoints at run time.

The Alarm Control supports four alarm ranges defined by three breakpoints:

1 < breakpoint 1 < breakpoint 2 < breakpoint 3 < 999

To set priority ranges for alarm records

1. Double-click the Alarm Control on the canvas. The Edit Animations dialog box appears.

2. Click Colors. The Colors page appears.

3. In the From Pri column in the list at the right, locate the break point you want to change. These are values except 1 or 999.

4. Click the value and type a new value in the range between the previous breakpoint and the next breakpoint.

   

5. Press Enter. All priority values in the list are updated.

6. Click OK.
