Alarm - in each case the output will activate for either condition.
2. Enter the vote count and specify if the vote count should include at least one alarm.
Note: Enabling the “At least one alarm” option means that there will be output only when an alarm is
active while faults, warnings and inhibits will be ignored, even when the vote count is exceeded.
