14.9 Alarms
Alarm presentation to the operator is highly configurable and beyond the scope of this
document to describe fully. For more information, refer to the graphics editor help file in
CSCAPE. This section presents a typical configuration thereby providing an introductory
description on what the operator should expect.
The alarm object is generally used to enunciate alarms to the operator. While the display
characteristics of this object is configurable, it is generally displayed as a button that changes
colors to indicate the highest state of the alarm(s) in the alarm group it is monitoring. The
following indicates the priority of the alarm states and the default colors associated with these
states.
•
Highest (Red)
- Unacknowledged Alarms Exist

Alarm Object
To view, acknowledge and/or clear alarms, the operator must access the alarm viewer. This is
accomplished by touching an (enabled) alarm object. When accessed, the alarm viewer is
displayed as pop-up alarm viewer dialog similar to that shown in Figure 14.5.
