View alarm errors

Performing an operation that fails for an alarm, such as disabling an already disabled alarm, shows an
Error
icon Icon: Runtime Error button on the alarm table. Alarm operation errors are write errors. The
Error
icon disappears after 10 seconds. Unlike read errors, the error does not keep displaying the
Error
icon. An
Error
icon opens an
Error list
 that contains:
  • The affected alarm table -- Alarm Summary or Alarm Manager
  • The alarm
  • The condition triggering the alarm
  • A description of the error

  4. Select the
    Error
    icon Icon: Runtime Error button. The list of alarms in the alarm table turns red and an
    Error list
     appears. When multiple alarms or conditions are in error, multiple error messages in the
    Error list
    .

    Disabled buttons have diagonal hash marks. Selecting a disabled button shows an
    Error
    icon Icon: Runtime Error button on the button for 10 seconds. Selecting the
    Error
    icon Icon: Runtime Error button displays an
    Error list
     with the message that the button is disabled.
