How do I pulse an output on an NGP panel?

There are two ways to pulse an output on an NGP panel :

Method 1

Configure a Local I/O with the "Activate Alarm Panel Output" function.
Assign this function to a Device> Function Link. For example, select an alarm panel device to link an input to activate the output.
Select an input, and then configure it for the following states:
Secure = Set FALSE
Fault = Do Nothing
Alarm = Set TRUE
This will pulse the output for the duration configured for the output as long as the input is activated for the output duration time or longer.

Method 2

Configure a Global I/O in order to pulse an NGP output when an Alarm Active event is received for an alarm input.
Add a new Global I/O. On the Input Event tab, select "Alarm Active" for an NGP input.
On the Output Action tab, add the "Device Output" action.
Select an NGP Output, and then select the "Pulse" option.
When the the NGP input becomes active, it will pulse the output for the duration configured for the alarm output.
