The iDash 1.8 allows users to configure
alerts notifying the operator that a
parameter has exceeded its set limit.
All alerts can be disabled/enabled and
can be set to go off for a maximum or
a minimum value. See
Figure 9-1, C.
After an alert limit is tripped, a banner
will appear, displaying a large banner
with the parameter alert name for 3
seconds. See
Figure 9-1, D.
If the alert limit continues to be
exceeded for displayed parameters,
the gauge will blink red (see
Figure
9-1, E
). If the alert limit continues to
be exceeded for background alerts,
a small banner in the top left corner
will appear and it will cycle through
each alert for ~1 second (if there is
more than one background alert limit
exceeded).
All alerts must be configured
for each individual iDash 1.8.
