Hi Folks...
Is there any way to deactivate (turn off) a repeating control alarm (but leave it in the alarm memory) and then be able to activate it later? From the 41CX user's guide, it appears as though I must delete the alarm from memory to shut it off, and then enter a new alarm later. Does anyone have a nifty trick to get around this?
Thanks and best regards, Hal

I guess you could do a bit of synthetix by manipulating the alarm registers (it would be interesting to make a set of functions for such manipulations... later). However, if you save the alarm in Extended Memory (XM), then deleting the alarm from the alarm registers, reactivating the alarm would be a simple routine to get it back from XM and setting it again. Take a look at the UAC source to get inspiration :) ▼

I use ASCII files to store alarms. Format is MM,DD:HH,MM:MESSAGE
