SBD75e: Alarms

From the ‘Alarms’ window the user may configure alarms and/or warnings based on the
behaviour and status of the demodulator. Warnings are displayed to the user while alarms
initiate the alarm relay.

Alarms or warnings may be viewed by selecting the Alarms tab on the window shown above. A
window, similar to that shown in Figure 4.9 is displayed.
