Hi Andrew,

 

Yes, just specify the record's stat field in one of the calc record's input fields.  You'll get a number from the following list

All,

 

I was wondering if there was some method to compare the alarm severity, where I want to determine if one of my record’s STAT field is set to be NO_ALARM or COMM. Can that be done using something like a CALC record?

 

Thanks,

Andy
