Note that the first four columns are identical as that in the Sensor Log Table. In fact, the Alarm
Setup Table is simply an extension of the Sensor Log Table. The former displays the alarm functions, if any,
that are configured for all sensors as defined in the rightmost four columns.
The columns entitled UPPER and LOWER Trip Value are used to define the values at which the
alarms are to be activated (see Figure 1 below) whereas those entitled Actions are used to define what is to
take place when either trip value is surpassed.
The user configures alarms with item ‘1’. To add an alarm to slot#0 as shown in the Alarm Setup
Table above proceed as follows:
