SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Alarms can be used in simple applications to start a Sequence thus switching a camera
to a monitor, displaying text on a screen, activating a control output, sounding a keyboard
alarm, and "flashing" an Icon on an associated GUI (Graphical User interface).
Alarms can also be assigned to an Alarm Queue.
The fields necessary to configure Alarms are on the Alarms screen.
