Programmatic Alarms

[acoyne]

I'm wondering if there is currently a way to create/edit/read the status of alarms programmatically in Labview?

Yes.

Starting SL 19.0 the APIs are documented and can be found through the help menu. You would probably still need to implement them in LV.

niapis/?urls.primaryName=Tag%20Rule%20Engine%20Service

The Tag Rule Engine provides method to create alarm rules.

niapis/?urls.primaryName=Alarm%20Service

The Alarm Service provides methods to handle raised alarms.

Thanks, I think I see how it works. I'm assuming the Cloud version functions the same as the non-cloud version. I tried a couple commands from https://api.systemlinkcloud.com/ and it seems to work. Is there a release date set for version 19.0 yet?

I don't know? I just looked in NIPM and it just showed as installable update in the version ring. I didn't add any special feed.

Looks like it's already out - sorry for the dumb question and thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

No problem
