That worked! For future reference, the $ALARMCOUNTFILTER goes after
the PV you want to set it for in the alarm handler configuration file.
For example:
CHANNEL GROUP_A variable_1 -----
$ALARMCOUNTFILTER 2 3
This will set it so that variable_1 alarms only if it receives finds
the variable's value outside it's alarm limits twice over a three
second period.
Thanks!
