Configuring the DIO channels to generate alarms

The OM-USB-TC-AI features eight independent temperature alarms. All alarm options are software
configurable.
When a digital bit is configured as an alarm, that bit is configured as an output on the next power cycle and
assumes the state defined by the alarm configuration.
Each alarm controls an associated digital I/O channel as an alarm output. The input to each alarm is one of the
temperature input channels. You set up the temperature conditions to activate an alarm, and the output state of
the channel (active high or low) when activated. When an alarm is activated, its associated DIO channel is
driven to the output state specified.
The alarm configurations are stored in non-volatile memory and are loaded on power up. The temperature
alarms function both in data logging mode and while attached to the USB port on a computer.
