Configuring the EMP

7

   

Temperature and humidity measurements are displayed in a graduated bar (see Figure 6). The red 

zones to the left and right of the bar represent the low and high thresholds. If notification is turned on, 

an alarm is generated when the measured value enters one of these zones. The cursor indicates the 

current reading.
