AlarmClassMapper
Alarm class mapping provides a way to assign one or more alarm classes to a common set of alarm-handling parameters. You access
this mapper from the alarm console by clicking or by clicking the chevron next to this property on the Alarm Console property sheet.
Alarm Class Mapper window
One benefit of this type of mapping is that you can import alarms from a variety of alarm classes and have them display, link, or sound in a common manner. You do this by creating alarm class definitions and then associating (mapping) existing alarm classes to these definitions.
The window has two panes:
- Upper pane: Alarm Class Definitions allows you to create, delete, or edit alarm mapper definitions before assigning them to existing classes.
- Lower pane: Alarm Class Definition Mapping assigns any existing alarm classes to the selected definition.
