Displays alarm messages contained within the alarm message buffer. Alarm messages are referred to by their index numbers. Index numbers correspond to the order in which an alarm message is logged into the alarm message buffer.

The amount of information displayed is controlled by modify alarmverbose, described on page 9. Alarmverbose has two additional options — /s(summary) and /d (detail) filter flags. These filter flags control the amount of information displayed only when alarmverbose is on. When alarmverbose is off, /s and /d display the same information.

Clears the current alarm message and alarm configuration files from the buffer for saving or showing alarms. If the alarm message file is cleared, all currently stored alarm messages are cleared as well. You must confirm that you wish to clear the alarm before you can continue to clear the alarm configuration file. If you respond n to the clear alarm confirmation prompt, it assumes you have canceled the command. If you respond y, you will see details of the alarm configuration file. You must confirm at this prompt also before the command is completed. Use add alarmconfig on page 6 to create an alarm message buffer file again
