Configuring Measurements and the Measurement Table: Overview
16-3
 In-band—The value falls between the minimum normal value and the maximum
normal value

High—The value has passed above the maximum value that is considered normal
 Input-saturated—The value has passed above the maximum measurable
threshold

Offline—The originator of the value has gone offline and is not reporting a value
Use for Measuring State Transitions and Durations
Transition and duration information for state changes on alarm entries and status
points can also be obtained. The measurement table entry provides a new originator
which contains a function that references an alarm entry or status point and calculates
the measurement value.
@state-transition
counts the number of times an originator (alarm entry or status
point) transitions to a particular state within a measurement interval. The transition
count is reported as a whole number and resets to zero at the start of each
measurement period.
@state-duration
counts the number of seconds an originator (alarm entry or status
point) is in a particular state within a measurement interval. The duration count is
reported as a sum for the current measurement interval and is rounded to the nearest
whole second. The duration count will reset to zero at the start of each measurement
interval.
See Configuring a Measurement Table Entry for State Transitions and Durations on
page 16-10 for an example.
Use with Alarm Table Entries
Measurement table entries can be used in connection with Remote RMX-3200’s
alarm table. You can set up alarm entries with different events that are triggered in
response to fluctuations in the current state of a measurement.
See section Configuring an Alarm Entry for a Measurement for an example.
Use with Event Correlations
You can create event correlations to be used with measurement table entries. The
example in section
Configuring a Measurement Table Entry for State Transitions and
Durations correlates a temperature measurement exceeding a specified value with an
input being open to create an alarm for fire danger.
For more information on configuring correlations, see Chapter 14: Configuring Event
Correlations .
