“Edit Alarm” button in the Alarms window to open
the Edit Alarm window (Figure 33).
The alarm category (Bit, Slot, Watchdog, Unable to
Contact Server, or Bad Channel) will be shown at
the top of the Edit Alarm window. You will also
have the ability to edit the other fields for the
alarm, including (as applicable) the alarm name,
cause, and action; whether or not the alarm
causes a “Red Alert” event; channel, slot, value,
and server information; AlarmType (such as
“GreaterThan” for a Slot Alarm or “On” for a Bit
Alarm); and other details that apply to the alarm.
When finished editing the alarm fields, click the
“Edit Alarm” button at the bottom of the window.

Deleted Selected Alarms
To delete an alarm, first select the alarm(s) that you want to delete. If you want to delete a
single alarm, simply select that alarm. If you want to delete multiple alarms, press and hold the
Ctrl key and then click on each individual alarm you would like to delete. Any alarm that is
highlighted will be deleted.
Once you have selected the alarms to be deleted, click the “Delete Selected Alarms” button. A
confirmation box will appear asking if you want to delete the selected alarm(s). Simply click OK,
and the alarms will be deleted.
IMPORTANT: Use caution when deleting alarms. Once an alarm is deleted, it cannot be
recovered. In addition, the log data associated with that alarm is also deleted and unable to be
recovered.
SDIO Configuration Alarms
The SDIO Configuration Alarms option uses data from Alarms.ini , an alarm initialization file
found in SuperDATA installations, to populate the alarm list.
