Alarm Trend Data

In addition to the interval trend data, the Eagle 2 also saves files
that describe the most recent gas alarm events. If a gas alarm
event occurs, then an alarm trend file that is centered around
the event is saved separately from the interval trend data files. It
shows the readings up to 30 minutes before and 30 minutes
after the event, with the log interval time every five seconds. The
gas readings logged at the alarm event time are highlighted in
red and the gas readings logged every 5 seconds around the
alarm event are the peak (minimum for oxygen) readings for the
previous five seconds. If the Eagle 2 was operating in Inert
Mode at the time of the alarm, the maximum oxygen readings
will be saved. If the Eagle 2 has not been on for 30 minutes
before the alarm event occurs, the data during this time is left
blank. If the Eagle 2 is turned off less than 30 minutes after an
alarm event occurs, the data file will only have logged data until
the unit was turned off.

The Eagle 2 saves up to 8 alarm trend files. When an alarm
event triggers an alarm trend file to be saved, subsequent alarm
events must occur 15 minutes after the previous triggering event
in order to trigger the saving of another alarm trend file. If 8
alarm trend files are already saved in the Eagle 2’s memory, the
oldest alarm trend file is overwritten when a new alarm trend file
is saved. Alarm trend data can always be displayed in either
table or graph format.
