alarm:
Description:
Show current alarm state
.
Displays the current alarm state of the instrument.
Equivalent to issuing the
status alarm
command. The returned alarm information provides
the most significant alarm condition that is currently active. It does not necessarily indicate
all alarm conditions which are currently present. For that purpose, health nodes are used to
monitor the current state of the instrument and raise alarms when the specified condition is
detected. The health nodes themselves are part of the status tree and can be viewed by
typing
status health
at the command prompt.
Once a health node alarm is triggered it will produce one of two types of alarms:
•
Event alarm:
Used to indicate alarms that have occurred but do not have a persistent
state. These alarms are latched and will remain active until the user clears them with the
clear_alarms command. Such an alarm might be triggered by the loss of an external
reference because even though the unit may switch to its internal reference and continue
to operate, the event is significant and warrants the attention of the user. The event
alarms are:
o
clock_phase_step
o
clock_freq_step
•
State alarm:
Used to indicate alarms that represent the current state of the instrument.
These alarms remain active until the issue is resolved and the instrument has returned to
normal operating conditions. Such an alarm might be triggered by an over temperature
event in which the unit has detected elevated temperatures within the instrument. The
alarm itself will not clear until the operating temperature returns to normal conditions.
