Note! Changing <usage> parameter will change the way the alarm source is
measured. In order to avoid erroneous system behaviour, this parameter should
never be changed.
<lower> is the value of the lower threshold used for alarm calculation.
<upper> is the value of the upper threshold used for alarm calculation.
<time> is the time an alarm has to be in erroneous state before an alarm is
triggered.
Example:
GET ALA TEM
Returns:
0 0 1 -15 60 5
This means that alarm is enabled and acknowledge required. Both thresholds are
used in measuring the alarm, lower threshold is -15 (degrees), 60 (degrees) is the
upper threshold and that the temperature has to be higher than 60 for 5 seconds
before an alarm is triggered.
Example:
SET ALA TEM 0 0 1 0 60 20
Modifies the above alarm source to generate an alarm when the temperature has
been above 60 degrees or below 0 degrees for more than 20 seconds.
