US date format:
This option selects the US date format, which uses the order
month, day, and year, separated by slashes (MM/DD/YYYY).
Read only (no ACK buttons):
This option, when checked, instructs the control
never to show ACK buttons. It is intended for users who want to create a ‘view
only’ alarm list, with no possibility to acknowledge alarms. While a similar effect
may also be obtained by setting the controls access level (for example to level 15),
the result is different. Using access control, the ACK buttons will still be visible,
so there will be less room to show other information. Also, a user with a high
enough access level will still be able to acknowledge alarms in this case.
Enable Navigation Bar:
This option enables the navigation bar. This will usually
be enabled to allow the user to navigate to older entries of the list, which do not fit
on the first page.
12 hour time format (am/pm):
Changes the display of time from 24 hour to 12
hour format.
Use am/pm as prefix:
Available when 12 hour mode is enabled, tells the control
to use the strings for AM and PM as a prefix instead of a suffix. This option is
required for some languages to yield correct 12 hour time representation.
Use year/month/day suffix:
This option is available when the date format is set to
ISO-8601. It changes the date format to add the localized strings for year, month,
and day as suffix to each date component, replacing the hyphens. This option is
required for some languages to yield commonly used date representations, for
example Japanese: 2011
年
12
月
14
日
Use hour/minute suffix:
This option is available when the date format is set to
ISO-8601. It changes the time format to add the localized strings for hour and
minute as a suffix. Used for some languages to yield commonly used time
representations, for example Japanese: 5

Keep Alarm History:
If this checkbox is set, the control will keep alarms even if
they are already cleared and also store the list in non-volatile memory, so that it is
not lost when the device restarts. In this mode of operation, the control can
function as an alarm log, showing older, already processed alarms in addition to
the currently pending alarms.
Max.
Age of History Entries:
This input field specifies the number of days the
occurrence of an alarm must lie in the past, before the entry is removed from the
list. This applies only to alarms which are already cleared and are not pending
acknowledgment (either not acknowledgeable or already acknowledged).
Max. Number of History Entries:
This input field specifies the desired
maximum number of entries in the alarm list. If there are inactive alarms in the list
which exceed this number, they may be removed by the control at the next chance
(usually when a new alarm comes in) to make room for new entries. However, like
the age limit, this limit does not apply to currently pending alarms, which are
always visible as long as there is enough memory available on the device.
Height of Navigation Bar:
This input field specifies the desired height of the
navigation bar, in pixel. Higher bars mean bigger navigation buttons.
Floating point value field precision:
This input field specifies the number of
significant digits to print for alarm values.
