3.3.6 Alarms Settings
Alarms can be generated when the measured/calculated value meets an alarm 
condition. If an alarm is mapped to one of the four physical alarm outputs, the 
alarm status indicator will display the alarm condition. When in alarm condition 
the status indicator for the corresponding alarm output changes color as shown 
in the following table. In addition, an alarm signal (open collector) is delivered to 
the alarm output terminal block and the digital I/O connector on the left side of 
the OM-DAQXL. Alarm Settings are accessible through the settings button of the 
home screen toolbar. There are two screens associated with the alarms settings, 
the main alarm screen and the add/edit alarm screen. 
Main Alarm Screen
The main alarm screen shows all of the currently configured alarms in a table
