32. Survey Deviation Alarm Log The survey deviation alarm log will log all instances where the temperature of one of the survey channels
goes above or below the deviation band. The alarm log is on a one-minute update, so any alarm would

the top of the screen on the line “AL 1 Start at”. The screen will display the each channel and which

data, the message will change to “Clearing complete.” If there was an error, the SDS instrument will
display “File error -13”. For SDS firmware versions 1.09 or lower (SDS menu 13 –

on the SDS Reporter software to bring up the survey download screen. From the Download screen, the
