MonitorEvent event class

The MonitorEvent event class is a subclass of the EVENT base event class. The ALARM class, ANOMALY class, PATROL_EV class, and the HELIX_SM_EV classes are subclasses of this class. To understand the event class hierarchy and class inheritance, see Event-classification-and-formatting.

This class includes all the common purpose slots that can be used across all the other subclasses.

Similar slots are also available in other subclasses such as ALARM, PATROL_EV, and so on. While these old slots are still usable, we recommend that you instead use the common slots described in the following table.
