Create an alarm trigger

Use the
Triggers
tab of the
Alarm Setup
editor to create an alarm trigger.
To create an alarm trigger
  1. On the
    Triggers
    tab of the
    Alarm Setup
    editor, click
    Add
    .
  2. In the Trigger dialog box, click the
    Browser
    button (...) to create a new tag or expression or to select an existing tag to monitor for alarm conditions. Alternatively, you can type a tag or expression. Then click
    OK
    .
    The application reads the tag’s or expression’s value, and generates an alarm when the value matches an alarm message’s trigger value.
  3. Specify the properties in the
    Trigger settings
    area of the
    Triggers
    tab.
  4. Click
    OK
    .
    The trigger you create is selected in the
    Select Trigger
    box.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to set up additional triggers.
    IMPORTANT:
    An alarm’s
    Trigger
    and
    Remote Ack
    settings should not be configured to use the same tag. Doing so may cause unpredictable alarm acknowledgment behaviors.
