Alarm power factor
If the value is set above the max range, the meter will automatically set the value
to the max value allowed by the range.
Example: Alarm current is set to 100.0 A by the user, but the max value is 40.0
A, so the meter will use the max value, in this case 40.0 A.
If an alarm has been set, the output state will indicate if the alarm is triggered (AL
On) or not (AL OFF). The magnitude of the set alarm is also displayed in the
output state.
