The following items are contained in the Alarms tab of the detail
display:
- Priority - This
field displays the priority (such as Warning, Critical or Advisory) that is
assigned to the corresponding alarm.
- Priority Adj - This
button is used to decrease the alarm priority at run time. If a module has more
than one alarm configured, the alarm priorities are all reduced by the same
value, except that the lowest priority that will be set is 3, a logged event.
(For example, if a module has three alarms, configured with alarm priorities of
12, 8, and 5, and a priority adjustment of 5 is made, the run-time alarm
priorities will be set to 7, 3, and 3, respectively.) The configurable alarm
priority held in the PRI field of each alarm parameter remains unchanged.
Therefore, setting the priority adjustment back to 0 reestablishes the original
priority levels (in the above example, 12, 8, and 5).

checkbox is a read-only indication of the corresponding alarm's ENAB (enabled)
state.

box is used to shelve or unshelve the corresponding alarm.
