For example I have a numeric value being monitored, and H and HH alarm points configured, but I want the operator to be able to modify these through a manual entry (pot, etc.) if necessary. <BR /> Wed, 09 Jun 2004 15:05:41 GMT fadihindi 2004-06-09T15:05:41Z https://ni.lithium.com/t5/Lookout/modifying-alarm-setpoints-dynamically/m-p/137190#M2177 How can I modify the alarm settings for my database points through a control in a Lookout application?

However, you can achieve the similar results using a separate Alarm object. <BR /><BR />In the Alarm object, the 'Signal' datamember would be your original object you want the alarm on. And for the HIHI, HI, etc., you can specify either contant values or other object like Pots and expressions that evaluate to a numeric value. <BR /><BR />Hope this helps.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR /><BR /><I>Khalid</I><P> <BR /></P> Wed, 09 Jun 2004 15:49:16 GMT https://ni.lithium.com/t5/Lookout/modifying-alarm-setpoints-dynamically/m-p/137191#M2178 Khalid 2004-06-09T15:49:16Z
