Alarm Branch

The activation of the Alarm Branch management using the"Enable Branch History" property will display the transaction events from ON to OFF in the Alarm Window during runtime.  In addition to the Alarm's active event identified as "Active Branch" in the Alarm Window, a new event will be entered when the alarm switches from the ON state (Active) to the OFF state (inactive), but the date and time reported in the Branch will refer to that of the alarm's activation.  Therefore the list of alarms reported in the window can be quickly checked through to see how many times and what time the alarm activated.  In the Alarm Window's 'Comment' column a message is displayed with the progressive Branch numbers.  

To delete a Branch from the Alarm Window simply acknowledge the event (ACK).  Even though the alarm, being the active event, is acknowledged because its status has changed to inactive (OFF), it will remain displayed if it has other Branches yet to be acknowledged.
