Introduction

The alarm panel is part of the Live tab, and sorts alarms into five 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.

Tracks: The recorded history of a detected target within a defined area.

Retained Tracks: If Track Retention has been enabled, tracks that trigger alarms are retained for a temporary period of time, and can be located on the PPI and examined in this time period.
