Alarm Summary
An alarm summary is a collection of all the alarms that currently exist in
the system. In addition, if a tag previously in alarm returns to normal but is
unacknowledged, a notification is posted in the alarm summary. You can
report alarms to your HMI by using the Alarm Summary Display, which is
available in the Controls»Alarms and Events palette of the front panel,
and the Read Alarm Summary VI, which is available in the
Functions»Alarms and Events palette from the block diagram.

How Do You Display Alarm Summary Information?
To read the alarms currently in the BridgeVIEW system, drop an Alarm
Summary Display from the Controls»Alarms and Events palette on your
front panel. You can invoke the HMI G Wizard to create the block diagram
for an alarm summary, or you can build your own diagram. For more
information about the HMI G Wizard, see Chapter 4,
