Alarm Trend Data

In addition to the interval trend data, the GX-2003 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 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 GX-2003 has not been on for 30
minutes before the alarm event occurs, the data during this time
is left blank. If the GX-2003 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 GX-2003 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 GX-2003’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.
