Event Log Validation Alarms
An Event Log Validation alarm indicates that the viewLinc
event log historical data has been modified or tampered with
and is therefore no longer validatable.
Logger Configuration Alarms
If you receive a Configuration Alarm, this indicates that your
data logger has stopped recording data history or was
configured incorrectly. This could be the result of being set to
stop when full, a delayed start, or the logger could have an
internal error. This alarm can also be triggered if a channel
has been disabled in the logger using Spectrum or vLog. To
correct this issue, you can verify or modify the Vaisala Veriteq
data logger settings using vLog. If the problem persists,
contact your Vaisala technical support representative.
Logger Validation Alarms
If you use a VL-type data logger, you’ll receive a Validation
alarm if the validation memory in the logger is corrupted or
has been modified. Contact your Vaisala technical support
representative.
Logger Calibration Alarms
If you use a VL-type data logger, Calibration Alarms send you
intermittent notification when your data logger is due for
calibration. You receive notifications at the following intervals:
3 months and 1 month before the calibration date, then again
on the data logger’s scheduled calibration date. This alarm
will remain active until the logger has been recalibrated.
What Happens When an Alarm is Triggered?
When an alarm is triggered, several things can happen
(depending on the configuration set by your administrator):
• A pop-up can appear showing a description of the
condition, and an alarm message. If pop-ups are blocked
in your browser, an error message appears, prompting you
to enable pop-ups for viewLinc.
• An email can be sent. If configured, emails are
automatically sent to the address (or addresses) specified
when threshold limits are exceeded, communications are
