For example, the command
{browse,attrs,PpsInDetected}
will return
[=17412]
. This maps to bits 10, 14 as a logic high (indicating a Units Value of “17” or
“Boolean”) and bit 2 as a logic high (indicating that the parameter is “read only”).
4.4.3 Alarms Parameter
The Alarms parameter represents the device’s current alarm state as a bitfield. Each 1
bit represents an active alarm condition. The user is also notified of new alarm condi-
tions via the device’s ALARM pin (J1-20). This pin is driven high when a new alarm con-
dition occurs and it remains high until the condition is resolved or the user
acknowledges it with the
ackalm
command. If multiple alarm conditions are unac-
knowledged by the user, the ALARM pin will remain high until each individual alarm
condition has been acknowledged or resolved.
Alarm Bits
The bits of the Alarms parameter are described as follows:
