Acop Alarms Viewer Example

Use the ACOP Alarms Viewer for displaying alarms of control system elements.

The alarms can be pre-configured at design time or added to the component via drag-and-drop of component addresses. Clicking on the AcopAlarmsViewer icon will open an alarms viewer display which lists the alarms, time-ordered according to the alarm start time.
