The Alarm.SelectedAlarms and Alarm.Alarms properties both return an alarm collection. Each alarm in an alarm collection has a unique cookie number which is used to identify each instance of alarm (if an alarm is re-raised, it will be allocated a new cookie). While alarm cookies are not displayed in the Alarm Banner, you can access them in your Alarm Banner scripts by using the Cookie property.
