Calling One Procedure from Multiple Alarms

Configure an Alarm Command step to trigger an alarm that executes a procedure without resetting/disabling the alarm and exiting the subroutine.

  1. Launch your project in the VeriStand Editor.
  2. In the Project Files pane, left-click a system definition file (.nivssdf) and select Configure in System Explorer.
  3. Click Targets » Controller » Procedures in the configuration tree.
  4. Click a procedure.
  5. Click Add » Alarm Command.
  6. Double-click the alarm command you added.
  7. In the Alarm Command Step Configuration page, click the Function drop-down, and select an option that resets or disables the alarm.
    Note The Alarm field should be grayed out, indicating that the step will execute for the calling alarm. If it is not, enable Apply settings to the alarm that tripped this procedure.
  8. Save the system definition file.
