Reset a latched alarm

Reset a latched alarm

When an alarm configured to latch enters the In Alarm state, the alarm remains In Alarm. This is true even when the input for the alarm changes. An alarm configured to latch when input is high remains In Alarm, even if the input turns low, because the alarm is latched. The alarm can only enter the Normal or Inactive state when resetting the alarm.
