The user can ACKNOWLEDGE alarms from the Alarm summary, any user-built graphic, the Point Info Dialog Box (Tag Browser), and any Block or Point Detail Display. Scripts and External programs can also Acknowledge Alarms.

Alarm Acknowledgement can be done for a Single Tag, Single Display, a single Group or entire SCADA node.

If there are multiple alarms for a Tag (e.g. High and High Deviation), the Higher Priority Alarm appears. There is an Alarm Precedence: 1) Hi-Hi and Lo-Low 2) Hi and Lo, 3) ROC and lowest 4) Deviation Alarms.  Alarm Ack only acknowledges the displayed alarm.  If there are multiple alarms for a tag, the next Alarm will appear immediately after the Alarm Ack.

Acknowledge All

Pressing the Acknowledge All button will acknowledge all active alarms on the SCADA node. 

If a tag's current value has triggered multiple alarms (for example, low-low and low alarms) then the next lower priority alarm will appear.
