Hide alarms

The "hiding" and "unhiding" of alarm records is known in the corresponding InTouch alarm controls as "suppressing" and "unsuppressing".

When the Alarm Control is hiding alarms, it ignores certain alarms. If an alarm matches the exclusion criteria, it is not visible.

The actual alarm generation is completely unaffected by hiding. Alarm records are still logged into the alarm history.

As in the InTouch HMI, you can unhide specific alarms and also use properties and methods to interact with the alarm hiding feature at run time.
