Configure InTouch HMI alarm queries

For an alarm consumer to obtain the alarms from an alarm provider, it must query the alarm provider. A typical alarm query is configured as follows:

\\ProviderNodeName\Provider!AlarmGroup

For an InTouch application these translate as follows:

• ProviderNodeName - This is the host name of the node where the alarm provider resides.

• Provider - This is the word "Galaxy." There can only be one WinPlatform per computer, and this keyword represents the platform alarm provider.

• AlarmGroup - The area objects in the IDE serve as the alarm groups. When building the application in the Model View of the IDE, you can nest the areas within each other. If an area named "Tanks" hosts another area named "Clearwell," then subscribing to the alarms in "Tanks" will automatically include the alarms in "Clearwell."

• Multiple Queries - An alarm consumer query can be used to query multiple alarm providers by adding a space between the individual query strings.
