To Configure Alarm Limits

To Configure Alarm Limits

The instrument has four alarms which you can configure to alert you
when a reading exceeds specified limits on a channel during a scan.
You can assign a high limit, a low limit, or both to any configured
channel in the scan list. You can assign multiple channels to any of the
four available alarms (numbered 1 through 4).
1 Configure the channel.
You must configure the channel (function, transducer type, etc.) before
setting any alarm limits. If you change the measurement configuration,
alarms are turned off and the limit values are cleared. If you plan to use
Mx+B scaling on a channel which will also use alarms, be sure to
configure the scaling values first.
2 Select which of the four alarms you want to use.
USE ALARM 1
3 Select the alarm mode on the selected channel.
You can configure the instrument to generate an alarm when a
measurement exceeds the specified HI or LO limits (or both) on a
measurement channel.
HI ALARM ONLY
