Configuring advisory alarming (AX-3.6 and later)

With the station opened in Workbench:

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

   This extension is specific to a NWS (National Weather Service) provider, that is a NwsWeatherProvider. If configuring advisories for some other weather provider type, skip ahead to Step 4.

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

3. By default, NWS advisories are 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. In the Nav tree, expand the WeatherReport’s “Current” component to reveal its “Advisories” container, then right-click it and select its property sheet view.

   By default, “Alarm Enable” for advisories is set to true. This means a Niagara alarm is generated for each new advisory, routed (and formatted) as specified in the “Alarm Properties” settings.

   If you wish no NiagaraAX alarming (but still want advisories modeled as Advisory components), set the Alarm Enable property to false, and click Save. Skip the remaining steps.

5. Expand the Alarm Properties (Advisory 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.
