Hovanes - it looks like the PV is going invalid around 1830, but nobody is around to acknowledge it, so it is sending the email/text out again at 0330 and again at 0630. Am I understanding that correctly? Are you able to silence those alarms for the break?
We don't need to be awakened in the middle of the night for PXI alarms while the solenoid is off over the holiday break. </div>

I suspect they are already set in PXI, but need to be checked. And there is a problem reading or writing to "HallD-PXI:Status:State.LLSV" ChannelAccess variable from our computers, which I assume is because the limit variables are not served by CA-server. </div>

If PXI had a real IOC and not a CA-server, LINK alarm would result in a MAJOR or INVALID severity. But the LINK alarm states for these PVs are themselves probably bogus. </div>

We can see those PV's - I used an old screenshot just capture the PV names. What's more important for us is how the alarm fields are configured for those PV's. We want to make sure we are notified when PXI is unhealthy - I presume this would be based on the
"Error" PV. Can you tell us how the alarm fields for that PV are configured?</div>

I was hoping to use Kiosk mode since it's running an IoT version of Windows, but so far haven't had much luck with that. I'll try seeing if just putting in the startup items folder will do the trick (let me know when it's okay to reboot the controller so we
can see if it does try to run it).</div>

As for those PVs, I'm not sure what is going on, both of them have values currently (and when I try to read them from another machine the .stat field is LINK and .sevr is NO_ALARM). State is just a number/enum represent what state the PXI is in, and Error is
the boolean output of the LabVIEW error cluster.</div>
