3. Select “Alarm Recording Rate.” Choose the new recording rate from the drop down

combo box located beneath the configuration tree. Press the “SAVE” button to update
the GCM-A. If this is the first time you are configuring the alarm history recorder, or if
you would like to discard all of the previously recorded alarm history, press the “Clear
Alarm Log” button.
