The alarm count for each category in the first row is compared to the alarm count for each category in the second row. For each alarm level, if the alarm count in the first row exceeds the alarm count in the second row, then a red down-pointing arrow is displayed. If the alarm count in the first row is less than the alarm count in the second row, then a green up-pointing arrow is displayed. If there is no change, then a green circle is displayed.

The red column displays the number of high alarms. The blue column displays the number of medium alarms. The yellow column displays the number of low alarms.

The first row of numbers is the number of alarms, in each category, for the specified Start Time #1. The second row of numbers is the number of alarms, in each category, for the specified Start Time #2. The third row of numbers is the number of alarms, in each category, for the specified Start Time #3.
