The Alarm History screen provides a record of the last 21 alarms that have
occurred. If more than 21 occur, the oldest alarm records will be lost,
unless the messages have been sent to a printer.

The Alarm History screen is pre-assigned screen number 255, although
that number can be reassigned. To view it, use any screen selection object.
For example, you could place a “Go To Screen” button, configured to call
Screen 255, on any screen. The operator could then view the Alarm
History screen even if the Alarm window wasn’t displayed.

IMPORTANT: The Alarm History screen is pre-assigned screen number
255. In Version 1, the screen number is fixed at 255; in later versions this
can be changed. Changing the number makes an application file
incompatible with Version 1 terminal firmware.

The Alarm History screen contains the following buttons:

Print History sends the Alarm History information to a printer

Status opens the Alarm Status screen
