7.3. SETTING ALARMS

The logger has alarms which are dependent on the type of logger being used. To view or
set the Alarms select the ALARM tab shown right. This will bring up the Alarm window
shown below.

This is the Alarm window from a Temperature/Humidity logger. It has
two alarms per channel. The alarms are numbered 1 and 2 for
Temperature and 3 and 4 for Humidity.

Alarms can be enabled or disabled by tapping the

(ENABLED) or

(DISABLED) icons. Each tap will change the state of the alarm


Alarms can be High  or Low . Check the radio button to the right of
the arrow to select.

The value of the alarm can be set by tapping the text window. This will
pop up the numeric keypad (shown below) allowing the number to be
entered or edited. Note that if you enter illegal values they will not be
accepted. Also a LOW alarm cannot be higher than a HIGH alarm and
vice versa.

Temperature Alarms in °F are rounded to the nearest 1° and are then
converted to °C before being saved to the logger. Similarly the alarm
value is read from the logger in °C and converted to °F. This may result in
a slight rounding error which means the value entered in °F could be
different to what is displayed by +1°F. This is also the accuracy of the
Alarm. The temperature engineering units can be set before reading the
logger or loading data. See
