HYSTERESIS

To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to
sound constantly if the measured reading is close to your set level, a hysteresis function has
been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the high temperature alarm is set to
+77°F and the current value moves to +77°F, the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled).
Now when the temperature drops to +76.8°F or below and thereafter again increases to beyond
+77°F, the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated. It has to drop to below +75.2°F
