Configures the alarm settings of a shared variable.

You first must enable alarming for a shared variable before you can configure alarm settings. You enable alarming by setting the enable? input in the Configure Alarming (Shared Variable, Enable Alarming) VI to TRUE. You must manually select the polymorphic instance to use.
Note You can configure alarm settings of network-published shared variables only.

Use the pull-down menu to select an instance of this VI.
