6.2.1 Displayed Order of Alarm Messages
Alarm messages are displayed in order of priority and time of occurrence. FIGURE 6-3 shows the
alarm messages list divided into two areas (Area A and Area B).
FIGURE 6-3 Displayed order of alarm messages
Alarm messages are displayed in Area A and Area B according to the following rules:
• To be in Area A, an alarm must be both the highest priority AND the most recent (Area A does not
cycle). The remaining active alarms and prompt messages cycle in Area B.
• New Alarms with less priority than alarms in Area A are displayed immediately in Area B, and the
cycle proceeds from that position in the list.
• Alarms cycling in Area B are grouped and displayed in the following order: highest priority,
medium priority, low priority, and prompt messages. In each group, the most recent alarm is
displayed first.
• If the alarm in Area A is removed, then the most recent and highest priority alarm from Area B is
moved to Area A.
Area A (Highest priority AND most recent alarm)
Area B (Lower priority or less recent alarms)
