Red Lion alarm ticker blink

[Joe E.]

Ok, I haven't used the built-in alarm ticker before. In previous projects, I would "roll my own" using a multi-state indicator that the PLC would scroll through to display the active alarms in turn. The ticker does that automatically, which I like. What I really don't like is how it blinks the text of unacknowledged alarms. I think the background color is more than enough to draw attention without the blinking, which, frankly I find very irritating. Is there a way to turn it off? In case it's helpful, this is a new application in a G308A210 using Crimson 3.0 build 579.003 Thanks!

Yes I've always though having the red background was enough also. There is no way I know of to turn off the blinking. The only other thought I have would be to use the GETALARMTAG function to create your own ticker but that is a lot of work for when you have something that is almost what you want. I would call Red Lion and at least get it put on the list. I might be easy enough that is shows up in a few builds.
