6.1.
Introduction to Alarms
FORMAT provides a comprehensive array of alarm triggers. Alarms are available on
fixed high and low setpoints, or on deviation from control set point. The same alarm
functionality is provided for both temperature and humidity channels.
Alarms can trigger several events:
Shuts the chamber down.
If you have set logging to start on alarm, data logging of the condition will start.
If your controller has been configured to use an alarm output, an external event may be
triggered.
