choices made during configuration of the Micro-PWC’s Alarm Setup, described in the Micro-PWC
Configuration Guide. The system can be configured to display either the newest or oldest alarm (with high-
est priority) first. Furthermore, this order can be the same or reversed if unacknowledged alarms exist.
The Sort option on the Alarm Review display menu bar is used to sort alarms based on the following
parameters:

oldest alarm messages in the Alarm Review display are to be displayed first; click Newest if the most
recent alarm messages are to be displayed first.

the contents of the Alarm Review can be sorted, including Type, Priority, and Area. Click the appropriate
toggle button to select the desired sort parameter.
