Setting Alarms
440 5967–9446
To set different thresholds, configure the alarm as described on page 433,
then push the Options… button. A window like the one in figure 91
opens. This window includes areas for configuring both a rising threshold
and a falling threshold. The initial value for each is the value specified in
the Configure Alarms window.
When you set different thresholds, the text field for the threshold value
in the Configure Alarms window cannot be changed. In addition, the
Messages area indicates that “Rising and falling thresholds differ. They
can only be modified via the Options window.”
