Users section for information on this setting.
Figure 59. Alarm Viewer
The Alarm Viewer displays alarm events in reverse chronological order, with the most recent event at the top of the list. Each time a new alarm
event occurs for a particular input device point, older events at the same device point are moved to a nested position under this newest event.
NOTE: The alarm point number used in VMX200 refers to the physical alarm input number on the rear panel of the alarm interface unit. VMX200
does not use the alarm group numbers associated with the alarm inputs on the alarm interface unit.
