Encapsulates the methods and handlers used to generate and process external alarms.

This is the abstract base class from which you drive an XASMgr object. An XASMgr object provides member functions for processing alarm messages.

The constructor of CExternalAlarmManager takes care of connecting to a CIMPLICITY project.

Start() starts the process of generating alarms and monitoring their state changes. This process can by synchronous or asynchronous.

The synchronous Start() waits until the process shuts down.

The asynchronous Start can be stopped by Stop().

Stop() stops the process of generating alarms and monitoring alarm state changes.
