Configuring advisory alarming (AX-3.5 only)

With the station opened in Workbench:

1. In the Nav tree, expand the WeatherReport’s Provider to reveal its Advisories Alarm Ext.

2. Double-click the Advisories Alarm Ext for its property sheet.

3. By default, NWS advisory alarming is enabled. If you wish no NWS advisories (essentially pre-AX-3.5 operation), set the Enabled property to false, and click Save. Skip the remaining steps.

4. Review and possibly change the “Urgency” property setting, from the default “Immediate” to another setting, shown in the selection list ordered highest priority at top, to lowest at bottom.

   For example, select “Expected” to include advisories with that urgency level, along with “Immediate”, but to filter out advisories with urgency levels “Future”, “Past”, and “Unknown”. This may include “warnings” but filter out “watches”.

5. Expand the Alarm Properties (Alarm Source Info) container and specify the alarm class to use in the station for alarms from this WeatherReport.

   The “Default Alarm Class” is used by default. However, typically you create one or more alarm classes to use for WeatherReport advisory alarms, and specify one of these here.

6. Remaining properties are optional and often left at defaults. Click Save when finished.
