I have an analog tag with 4 levels of alarming configured. My ideal end result would be at each level, I execute system.util.execute(['C:\path\LowLow.bat']).

if Tag.LowLowAlarm isActive, Do A, LowAlarm, isActive, Do B etc..

At the tag scripting level, how do I create unique actions for the invidual alarm.isactive and not the overall Alarm HasActive state?

(we are executing an external application, different actions for different alarm levels).

The `Alarm Active` tag change event can do this:

Check the `alarmName` variable within the event handler function for the alarm that changed
