state. Alarm occurrences that are older than the number of minutes specified as the Detection window
parameter are discarded.
Alarm Status
XEdit supports the following alarm status values:
Global Alarms
A channel comprises different level categories, including alarms. Each channel can include multiple alarm
levels: one for each alarm state that can be reported to the Kaleido-X system. In many cases, a single,
combined status, based on all the alarms in every alarm level for a channel, is more useful than having to
individually assess each and every alarm condition detected. Such a global alarm combines all the
individual alarm statuses into an overall status, where the most critical events take precedence.

Disabled Covers multiple conditions:
No alarm assigned to the status indicator
Alarm exists but is disabled at the source by the user. The Kaleido-X has the ability to
deactivate some alarms on the hardware itself.
Alarm exists but was not reported yet. The software is waiting for the hardware or
driver to update the alarm.
Alarm that has been removed (or was never added). It can happen if the alarm
reference in XEdit does not exist on the Kaleido-X — for example, if a KXI card is
removed. All associated alarms will disappear and become disabled on the Kaleido-X.
Could not get status. Failed to communicate with device to get status. It could happen
for example, if the network connection is lost. Another example is a loss of signal that
would trigger a critical alarm for signal presence while the alarm state for all other
parameters would become unknown. The freeze or black status is disabled if the signal
is not present.
