Alarm

To create an Alarm you first need to create the Alarm for the machine. This is done via "Client" -> "Administration" -> "System settings" -> "Basic data" -> "Alarm via code" and you can read more about how that form works here .

First, you select the alarm code that should be set when the alarm occurrs. You may only chose alarm codes registered on the selected machine.
Then you select which alarm compare type to use:

Standard - If the value is within the alarm trigger on limits the alarm is raised. If it is within the alarm trigger off limits the alarm is lowered.
Differs from value - This is used to compare to another process value. If the value differs from the other process value the alarm is raised, else it is lowered.
Equals value - This is used to compare to another process value. If the value equals the other process value the alarm is rasied, else it is lowered.

Then you may set how often the larm may occurr. This is done by setting time between alarm in seconds.

Finally, you may set to not raise any alarms if the machine is not running. You can see an example of what the tab "Alarm" looks like in the picture below, as well as see explanations for the different menu options.
