Configuring Alarms

The LogTag^® can display a visual alert if one or more of the configured alarm trigger conditions have been met. Each alarm trigger condition consists of a threshold value, an activation type (which can be instant, consecutive or accumulative 1 Instant = one temperature reading is above (below) the thresholdConsecutive = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the time defined in the activation delay without interruptionAccumulative = temperature readings are above (below) the threshold for the total time defined in the activation delay time, but may not necessarily be sequential.) and a delay time, if it is not an instant alarm.

If an alarm trigger condition requires readings to exceed an upper threshold temperature it is called an upper alarm. If an alarm trigger condition requires readings to go below lower thresholds it is called a lower alarm.

The threshold parameters are shown in LogTag^® Analyzer when the LogTag^®'s readings are downloaded and displayed.

Alarm related configuration parameters are entered in the bottom section of the Parameter Pane:

Here you will find one or more tabs, depending on the logger model you wish to configure. Switch tabs by clicking on the tab's label.

HAXO-8 loggers for example show two tabs, one for temperature alert conditions, one for humidity. Note that some values apply to both tabs simultaneously, such as the OK indicator field.
