Understanding the Trend Alarm List
The Trend Alarm list shows all alarms related to displayed trend in trend graph that have been generated over a selected period of time (the time duration selected in the trend graph). The Trend Alarm list does not condense related alarms so every alarm will be displayed as a row in the table. In addition, operator initiated actions in response to an alarm will be displayed in the Alarm, but will not be displayed in the Alarms list since an operator does not need to be notified of their own actions.
• The Unacknowledged column contains a bell icon (
