Analysis Configuration: Define Alarm Events
Click the Define Actions button for the selected out of control event in the Alarm properties page view to display the Define Alarm Events dialog box.
Automatically request input of cause
When this check box is selected, Statistica will automatically display the Assigning a Cause (Action) dialog.
Use the options in this dialog to choose from a list of predefined causes or to specify a new cause. Note that if the variables with codes for causes have not already been specified, you will be prompted to choose those variables before the Assigning a Cause (Action) dialog is displayed.

Automatically create the chart (if it currently does not exist)
When this check box is selected, Statistica will automatically display the default graph (e.g., X-bar and R chart) when the respective out-of-control condition (alarm) occurs.
If a chart is currently displayed on the screen, the setting of this check box will have no effect. This option is useful for monitoring several processes simultaneously. After setting up the respective Alarm notification for each chart, you can minimize each project and delete all graphs. Then, when an out-of-control condition occurs, the respective graphs (where the selected out-of-control conditions occur) will be displayed on the screen (be sure to clear the Auto hide option on the Real-time tab of the Quality Control Charts Startup Panel so that the charts for all projects will be displayed simultaneously on the screen).
Run SVB Programs; program names/location
When this check box is selected, you can specify up to three different Statistica Visual Basic (SVB) programs to run automatically whenever the respective out-of-control event occurs.
To specify the path (for the program file name) of the SVB program, click the first available number button (1, 2 or 3). This will display a standard Open file dialog where you can choose which SVB program to launch.
Run/launch other application (with optional parameters)
When this check box is selected, you can specify up to three different applications to run automatically whenever the respective out-of-control event occurs.
To specify the (file name) path of the application, click the first available number button (1, 2, or 3). This will display a standard Open file dialog. External applications can be launched with optional parameters. For example, you may want to launch an email program and send a particular (saved) email message. See Example 7: Setting Up Server Tasks for specific steps for email notification.
