The Alarms page appears when you click Monitor > Alarms on the menu bar.

This page displays a list of AENs (asynchronous event notifications) received from the controller displayed in the drop-down list in the menu bar.

Up to 1000 events can be listed. After the 1000-limit is reached, the oldest events are deleted, as new ones occur.

You can sort the events by severity or time. To do so, just click the column header.

For information about a particular event, click it on the Alarms page; the 3DM Help will open with information about the event. For a complete listing of the alarms that appear on the Alarms page, see “Error and Notification Messages” on page 113.
