Introduction

The alarm panel is part of the Live tab, and sorts alarms into three categories:

Live Alarms: Alarms that are active, and indicate a rule is currently being broken. 

Pending Acknowledge Alarms: Alarms that have been cleared but require manual acknowledgement by a user.

System Alarm: Alarms concerning the system e.g. network connection, radar connection, Track Engine health, RF Health etc.

An alarm can be silenced, acknowledged or cleared. Select first the alarm (or alarms, with Ctrl+Click) and then a command button.

Version 4.11.0 Build 983 is the minimum version of ClearWay™ required to receive RF Health alarms. For further information regarding RF Health please refer to the Vertex documentation: https://navtechradar.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PROD/pages/2269904897/Admin+-+Factory#RF-Health.
