Logger Alarms
Ensuring the continuous functionality of your logger is
required for accurate real-time monitoring. Because of this,
viewLinc includes logger calibration, validation and
configuration alarms to notify users if logger functionality is
compromised at any point. By default, there are three logger
alarms (in addition to the Logger Communication alarm)
preconfigured for each logger. These alarms cannot be
deleted; however, they can be edited.
