ALARM_LIMIT?

*CLS

DATE

Two alarm limits, Limit 1 and Limit 2, can be assigned to any channel 0 to 20 that is not in the OFF mode. An alarm limit can be used for high alarms, meaning a HI alarm is set if a measurement exceeds the high alarm level, or low alarms, meaning a LO alarm is set if a measurement falls below the low alarm level. If only one of the alarms is used, the other alarms is turned OFF. The alarm value can be any signed number between

.00000001 and 9999999, however, the instrument rounds to five significant digits. The signed numeric entries can be entered in scientific notation or as real numbers. If no polarity sign is used, the value is assumed to be positive. Alarm limit settings automatically clear from a channel if the channel function is changed. If Mx+B scaling is applied, alarm settings are based on scaling, i.e., the actual instrument display, if this command is entered during scanning while logging to the memory card, an Execution Error is generated. Setting an alarm limit clears its alarm status and sets any associated ALARM or DIGITAL I/O line high.

Example: ALARM_LIMIT 5, 1, LO, -65.872 [For channel 5, configure alarm Limit 1 as a low alarm with a value of -65.872.]

Alarm Limit Assignments Query

Return alarm limit 1 or alarm limit 2 for any channel 0 to 20.

ALARM_LIMIT? <channel>,<limit_num>

<channel> = (0 .. 20) <limit_num> = 1 2

For a selected channel and alarm limit, the returns include the sense of the alarm limit (HI, LO, OFF) plus the value of the alarm setting in scientific notation with five digits of resolution.

Example: ALARM_LIMIT? 13, 1 returns LO, -4.5500E+0 [Channel 13, alarm Limit 1 is configured as a low alarm with a value of -4.55.]
