Automatic query for alarms on startup

You can configure the Alarm Control to automatically query the Alarm Database when the control starts up at run time. Use the QueryStartup Property in scripts to control query behavior when the Alarm Control starts.

By default, current alarms and recent alarms and events are automatically queried when the Alarm Control starts at run time. You can disable the automatic query if the Alarm Control is:

• Configured to mainly use query filters

• Controlled mainly by scripts

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

2. Click Run-Time Behavior. The Run-Time Behavior page appears.

3. Select the Query on Startup check box.

4. Click OK.
