- ALA - Query/reset alarms
Reports the presence of an alarm condition, or resets (clears) the alarm (if possible). A description of the various
alarms can be found in Section 4.7.2. Note that if the condition which created the alarm still exists, clearing the
alarm will cause the unit to immediately issue the alarm again. Also, alarms can be either asynchronous,
meaning that the unit will transmit the alarm string immediately when the alarm condition first arises, or polled,
in that one must issue the
ALA
command regularly to see if an alarm condition has arisen. The choice between
polled and asynchronous alarms is configured with the
ASA
command.
Syntax:
ALA
report current alarm state
ALAR
reset alarm
ALAC
clear alarm (identical to reset alarm)
Examples:
ala
query current alarm state
NONE
no alarm condition
