Is there a way to verify that a certain alarm did not occur during my test case execution? I tried to open a second connection to the device and perform a repeat step but it looks like the steps from the first session are not going to run until the repeat step times out.
Are you aware that iTest test cases support multi-threading? On any step, you can open the step properties and check the box that says, "Start this step in a new thread". From that point, that step will continue running, while execution in the current thread proceeds onto the next step.
So you can use a thread to check for alarms while the rest of your test case runs to completion. The checkbox immediately below lets you control whether to wait for that background thread to complete, or to end it when the test case ends. In your case, you'll want to check that second box, too, so that you don't have to worry about shutting down your alarm checking thread at the end.
