Since this Wiki page describes settings that frequently change, this page may be out of date, unless somebody is willing to update the Wiki when a MX release makes a change, it is hoped that presenting Alarms as a separate small Wiki page will make it more likely that somebody will keep it up to date.

Once again, be aware that the information shown may be badly out of date, as MX evolves very quickly.  The following screenshot is for release 3.20.0, showing some invalid selections (red edged), some selections made (entries ticked or populated with content), and is intended just as an indication of what you may see.  The files listed for sound are at path of '''CumulusMX/interface/sounds'''. Alarm latch time hours are from 3.20.0 able to take decimal values, earlier releases only accepted integer latch hour values. The ''Action'' columns are new at 3.20.0, and can be used to call a script or run external exe etc. but are not listed in the table below.
