I am struggling a bit with the alarm status table. I have a series of Alarms that are are individually set (Label and Notes sections) with static values.

I know that in the Alarm Journal doesn't store static values, which I did end up changing, but the Alarm status table doesn't pull from the alarm journal so its not going to impact my problem.

Is there a place to set the Ignition alarm state to store the static alarm values.

What exactly do you mean by static alarm value? As in the threshold value to trigger the alarm is static? I'm not sure I understand why the status table would not catch those alarms if they are triggering?

I figured this out. The alarms were active when I was creating them so they took the default values and displayed them in the table. They came back after I changed the labels and notes and cleared them with the updated names.
