Instructions Definition

This menu is used to define instructions that must be assigned to events. When an alarm is generated, the instruction will display in the Instruction window (Desktop menu) for acknowledgement . Usually, each line will contain a single directive; the response instructions will be composed of several directives (lines). This allows for greater flexibility when modifications are required.
