The following data item formats support alarmed display mode:
Integer
Float
If you select one of these formats the Alarm Properties tab will be enabled:
The settings on this tab let you specify the alarm definition to use. Keep in mind that for your alarm definitions to show up in the select box you have to load them first. If you select no alarm the Enabled box will be unchecked and disabled. You can also manually uncheck the Enabled box even when you have selected a valid alarm. Setting alarm checking on an item adds considerable processing overhead and should be used cautiously. We recomment to use a timer based update. Especially alarm checking on fast updating items and large array items might slow down the system.
The color drop down boxes allow you to specify the color combinations to use for the individual alarm conditions.
