Information and Alarm Windows
Windows differ from PanelView objects in that they are not tied to specific
screens. They can appear over any screen at any time.
This chapter discusses the uses of the Information window and the Alarm
window, and describes how they are configured.
To define the Alarm and Information windows, choose Windows from the
File Menu and enable the appropriate window.
