You can use alarm functions to display alarms and
their related alarm help pages, and to acknowledge, disable, and
enable alarms. You can assign a privilege to each command that uses
an alarm function, so that only an operator with the appropriate
privilege can perform these commands. However, you should assign
privileges to commands only if you have not assigned privileges to
individual alarms.
AlarmAck: Acknowledges an alarm. The
alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the command is executed)
is acknowledged. You can also use this function to acknowledge
multiple alarms.
AlarmComment: Adds a comment to the alarm
summary entry at run time. The comment is added to the alarm where
the cursor is positioned when the command is executed. A keyboard
argument passes the comment into the function. Verify that the
length of the comment does not exceed the length of the argument,
or an error results.
AlarmDisable: Disables
an alarm. The alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the
command is executed) is disabled. You can also use this function to
disable multiple alarms.
AlarmEnable: Enables an
alarm. The alarm where the cursor is positioned (when the command
is executed) is enabled. You can also use this function to enable
multiple alarms.
AlarmHelp: Displays an
alarm help page for the alarm. Each alarm in your system can have
an associated help page. The help page for the alarm at the
position of the cursor (when the command is executed) is
displayed.
AlarmSplit: Duplicates
an entry in the alarm summary display. You can use this function to
add additional comments to the alarm entry.
