Section 9 — Working with Routes

Use Band Alarms and Baseline Overalls on
Route
You can compare Baseline Overalls and spectrum Alarm Bands in Ascent
to measurements you take when collecting routes. Alerts can then be
displayed on the instrument if an alarm threshold is exceeded or if a
measurement differs significantly from the Baseline Overall.
MORE: See Baseline Recordings for trigger levels.
NOTE: Alarm band warnings support only spectrum
measurements, not waveforms.
Your instrument will either display a message stating the alert condition,
or indicate the alert state using the
Danger
,
Alert,
and
OK
LED Indicators.
1. Press Route on the main menu.
2. Use and to locate and select a route — The
Baseline
Overall
and
Alarm Band
alert notification type you configure will be
used globally for all routes stored on your instrument. Consequently
the choice of route is NOT important.
3. Press to select the highlighted route.
4. Press then Alarms — The
Alarms
screen will open.
5. Press
Baseline Overall
repeatedly to cycle through the
baseline alert options:
•
Warn & LEDs
will display a message and illuminate the
appropriate instrument LEDs if the baseline overall you have
configured in Ascent differs significantly from the measurement
being collected.
•
LEDs only will illuminate the instrument LEDs — A message will
NOT display if the Baseline and measurement differ notably
from one another.
•
Disabled
will NOT indicate if the baseline overall and
measurement differ significantly.
NOTE: If triggered, a message on your screen will indicate the
percentage of the measurement overall relative to the configured
Baseline Overall (for example, Overall value is 50% of baseline).
