alarm status list, from all alarms to active
alarms to past alarms.

without removing the alarm from the
alarm log file and alarm lists.
Clear alarm history Remove alarms from the alarm log file and
all alarm lists. If the Ack connection is
assigned for any of the alarm triggers, the
operator is prompted to acknowledge all
alarms before clearing them.
You can set up the button to remove all
alarms, or just the alarms for a specific
alarm trigger. You can also specify
whether to reset the cleared alarms.
If you choose to reset alarms, pressing this
button resets the number of times an alarm
has been triggered to 0, and the
accumulated time in alarm to 0, for all
alarms that are being cleared. If the alarm
is still active, the number of times in alarm
changes to 1 after the alarm is reset to 0.
