When troubleshooting, viewing the Active alarms in the alarm log or history is typically best.

• A. Depends on alarm type
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Only in Emergency

Answer: (B)

Viewing the Active alarms is typically best because it shows exactly what is currently stopping the robot or process. The active alarm list gives real-time fault status with clear details like the alarm number, description, severity, and the affected component, so you can triage and address the problem right away. If nothing is actively alarming, then turning to the alarm history or log helps you uncover recent events, the sequence of faults, and any patterns that might explain what happened or point to an intermittent issue. In practice, start with the present alarms to fix the immediate cause, and use the history as a follow-up tool when you need more context or to verify a suspected root cause.
