Hi  
Im trying to bind directly between a Tag Alarm delay and an Numeric input.

As you can see in the image i can link the Setpoint to the numeric input window via "[default]tgewvds/test/Alarms/Alarm.SetpointA" ,  
but i also want to link the Deadband and the Active Delay, are that possieble directly or do i have to use a external binding tag(OPC or Memory ) ?

I cant see the delay and deadband in the list.

Active Delay

timeOnDelaySeconds

The time, in seconds, before the alarm will be considered truly active after the active condition becomes true. Also known as a "rising edge time deadband".
