Advanced Sensor Configuration (Details>>)
Record Freq
The amount of time, in minutes (min) or seconds (s), between each recorded sensor
value.
Deadband
The amount (in native units) that the channel needs to go above or below a threshold
in order to cause an alarm.
Qual Time (Qualification
Time)
The length of time that must pass, without interruption, in order for the condition to be
considered an Alarm or a Clear.
Qual. Type (Qualification
Type)
Allows you to choose whether you want to apply the Qualification Time to the alarm
Set, Clear, or Both.
Thresholds
These settings are set to indicate the severity of the alarm depending on which
threshold values have been passed. Enter values for Major Under (MjU), Minor Under
(MnU), Minor Over (MnO), and Major Over (MjO).
Analog Gauge Type
Select the color-coded gauge that best represents your data. Selecting None will
disable the analog gauge and only a numerical representation of the value will be
displayed under
Monitor > Sensors .
Note: Before plugging in any additional D-Wire Sensors, set up the internal sensor.
Script Sensors
A Script Sensor can be setup by entering a script type in the sensor ID field. The following types are currently
supported:
~count - The equation will be evaluated continuously. If the evaluation changes at any point, the sensor's value
increases by an increment of 1. This mode can be useful for counting the number of times a discrete input
toggles.
Evaluation Sensor; every tenth of a minute (6 seconds).
~evalMt
- The equation is evaluated every 6 seconds and its result becomes the sensor's value.
Evaluation Sensor; every minute.
~evalMn
- The equation is evaluated every 60 seconds and its result becomes the sensor's value.
Interval counter.
Interval Sensor
~intCnt
- Sensor value will increment when the associated input's pulse length (high or low) is within a set
interval. Example: D5 V1 0 0 0 > V6 0 0 0 0 < means the sensor value will increment when a 1ms to 60ms pulse
is detected on Discrete Input 5. This is useful for frequency detection/tracking.
A Script Sensor is configured to evaluate Reverse Polish Notation equations. A data token in an equation can
represent a discrete alarm, analog reading, sensor reading, relay status, system alarm status, or a constant value.
The format for a token in an equation must be a data type followed by an index (for example: Discrete Input 1 in an
equation would be represented as "d1", Analog Channel 3 would be "a3", etc.). Each token is typically followed by
another token or an operator. The equations are entered in the description field for the Script Sensor.
Valid data types:
d Discrete Input
a Analog Channel
r Relay State
n Sensor
v Positive Integer Constant
s System Alarm
