The Limit Alarm configuration provides the capability to work with a Limit Alarm. Figure 13 shows the Main Window in the Limit Alarm configuration.
On the left hand side of the Main Window you will see the Library Area. It is configured to provide access to existing Limit Alarms in the trek_workspace. When you create a Limit Alarm and export it to the trek_workspace, it will be added to the Limit Alarm list. The Library Area only displays items stored in the trek_workspace. If you need to work on an item outside of the trek_workspace, you will need to import the item. In the middle of the Main Window you will see the Work Area showing the Limit Alarm Tab. This is where you will define the details of the Limit Alarm. On the right hand side of the Main Window you will see a set of buttons that provide various capabilities applicable to the Limit Alarm you are working on (e.g., Validate to validate the Limit Alarm or Export to export the Limit Alarm).
