ALARM
An alarm message can be generated within a macro by using the
word “ALARM” followed by the descriptive text within double
quotation marks (“ ”). The alarm messages will show up in the
Alarm window whenever the alarm statement is executed. Macro
alarms are treated as critical alarms. All normal alarm notification
procedures will apply including dial-out messaging. Each alarm
message can contain up to 32 characters.
Macro Line Example Description
Alarm “The building is on fire!” [CR] The statement in quotes will appear in the alarm

WARNING

will occur until a critical alarm occurs. Up to 32 characters may be
in each warning message. Multiple warning statements may be in
a single macro if more characters are needed.
