How to access an alarm's "Active delay (seconds)" property?

Hi,
I'm not sure if It's just a Monday morning or if I haven't done this before. We have an expression tag that we are using to aggregate some conditions for an alarm. We have an alarm configured in the expression tag but the "Active delay (seconds)" doesn't show up in the tag tree. How can I get a numeric entry field binding to read and write to that property?

You might be able to build a new memory tag to hold the value for the timer and bind it to the Active delay(seconds) property on the alarm. You would then have the numeric entry field write to the new memory tag.

ok, thanks, I wasn't being too thick, it isn't accessible directly. I can pull the value using tag/Alarm.timeOnDelaySeconds but errors on a write.

It's a one-off tag for now so we will just set it and the operators will have to deal with not being able to change it. It shouldn't need adjustment but you how users are....
