Alarm monitor color scheme: Processing state
It is possible to define the colors that are used in the Alarm Monitor so that the color scheme reflects
the alarm state. This option is used if Processing State is selected in the Alarm Monitor Color
Scheme box of the Parameters form.
Each alarm in the Alarm Monitor has a foreground and background color based on its processing
state and logical state. The Alarm Color form is used to set foreground and background colors for
each possible combination of alarm logical and processing states.
The logical states are:
• Set
Alarms that are in the active alarm state.
• Reset
Alarms that have been reset (turned off) and are no longer active.
• Tamper
The wiring of the alarm input has been cut or tampered with.
