Configuring Alarm Monitors
To add an alarm monitor to a layout
1 Click the Alarm monitor button ( ) on the toolbar, click the layout, and then move or
resize the monitor as needed.
You may choose to layer this monitor on top of the video window within a composite.
See Working with Composite Monitors on page 255, for instructions on how to add
elements to a composite.
2 In the Properties pane, set the transparency attribute to the appropriate value for your
purposes, by clicking the Transparency box, and then using the slider or typing the
desired value directly into the box.
Set the other appearance attributes as desired.
3In the Alarms/Tallies section, set the appropriate color and video transparency scheme
for the text and background, to achieve the desired alarm reporting behavior.
Note: On the monitor wall, an alarm monitor positioned over a video
window has the following default behavior:
• If the source assigned to the alarm monitor is an active alarm (red), the
alarm monitor is visible. The video transparency settings configured in
XEdit for this alarm monitor apply to the part of the monitor that overlaps
the video window.
• If the source assigned to the alarm monitor is an inactive alarm (green),
the alarm monitor is not visible on the monitor wall. If the alarm monitor
partially overlaps the video window, then the part of the monitor that
does not cover the video window remains visible (green).
