How to make a trigger to automatically open a popup window when an alarm (critical priority is triggered/active)

I already play around with Alarm Event scripting at the tag I set the alarm but still the pop up window still not appear when the alarm is triggered.

here is my script:

if alarmActive(alarmName,'CriticalAlarm'): system.nav.openWindow('POPUP\_CriticalAlarm')

p/s: I am using vision module

Have a look at my post about value change script open a popup. You can use this tag value changed for your alarm.
