Alarm Properties

The Alarm type exposes the following members.

NameDescription
AlarmAction Gets or sets the procedure to initiate when the alarm conditions are met.
AlarmSource Gets or sets the channel to monitor for alarm conditions.
BaseNodeType Gets a reference to the internal representation of this node. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
DefaultState Gets or sets the default state (Disabled or Enabled) of the alarm.
Delay Gets or sets the amount of time to wait before triggering the alarm.
Description Gets or sets the description of this node. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
GroupNumber Gets or sets the number of the group to which an alarm belongs.
LowerLimitChannel Gets the channel that determines the lower limit value of the alarm. If the value of AlarmSource falls below this limit, the alarm is triggered.
LowerLimitConstant Gets the constant value that determines the lower limit value of the alarm. If the value of AlarmSource falls below this limit, the alarm is triggered.
LowerLimitIsConstant Gets whether the lower limit value of the alarm is specified by a constant or a channel.
Mode Gets or sets the mode of the alarm (Normal or IndicateOnly).
Name Gets the name of this node. To rename a node, use the RenameNode method. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
NodeID Gets the ID of this node. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
NodePath Gets the path to the node within the system definition file. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
Priority Obsolete. This property is deprecated in NI VeriStand 2011 and later. Use the PriorityNumber property instead.

Setting this property to Low, Medium, or High automatically sets the PriorityNumber to 25, 15, or 5, respectively.

PriorityNumber Gets or sets the priority of an alarm running on the target. Lower numbers specify a higher alarm priority. For example, 4 is higher priority than 31.
TripMessage Gets or sets the message to display when the alarm is tripped.
TypeGUID Gets the GUID associated with the node. Attempts to set the GUID of a BaseNode will generate an exception. (Inherited from BaseNode.)
UpperLimitChannel Gets the channel that determines the upper limit value of the alarm. If the value of AlarmSource exceeds this limit, the alarm is triggered.
UpperLimitConstant Gets the constant that determines the upper limit value of the alarm. If the value of AlarmSource exceeds this limit, the alarm is triggered.
UpperLimitIsConstant Gets whether the upper limit value of the alarm is specified by a constant or a channel.
