(Indicating that alarm feature that is associated with the item’s state is enabled (so allowing alarms to be raised if an alarm situation occurs). It also indicates that the most recently raised alarm cleared at the above specified date and time, but has not yet been acknowledged.)
With most types of database item, a single alarm is used to raise awareness of any problem that Geo SCADA Expert has detected with that item. The severity of the alarm is typically specified on the <Item Type> tab of the item’s configuration Form.
With points, separate severities can be specified for each possible point state or limit. These are typically specified on the <Point Type> tab of each point’s configuration Form.
If any of the points on your system are configured to have Multiple Point State Alarms, an extra field is displayed on the <Point Type> tab. On the point’s Status display, a separate State Alarm status attribute is displayed for each possible ‘Point State’ alarm condition, instead of a single State Alarm status attribute. For more information, see Multiple Point State Alarms in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Point Configuration.
Possible States: Displays one of the Standard Alarm States.
