Alarms operation
Alarms have been implemented to protect the Dazzler

the conditions which may raise alarms are checked regularly, polling rate above 10Hz,
•
the presence of an alarm is indicated by the ”poll message” (see software front panel)
which becomes red and bold, as shown below, and the L2 indicator blinks red,
