Time Out Period
The Alarm Output data logger will always hold an attached device in the
appropriate state (On or Off) as dictated by the alarm settings. However, the
Alarm Output data logger utilizes a time-out period for ceasing checking the
alarm conditions whenever software attempts to communicate to the logger.
The default and minimum setting is 5 seconds. Once the time out period
ends, the data logger will again check the alarm conditions to determine
whether to leave an output open or closed. You may adjust this value if you
want the alarm checking functions to resume later after communicating to the
logger using WeatherLink or the Streaming Data Utility.
Press OK to configure this setting in the dialog box. Press Cancel to exit the
dialog box and preserve the original settings.
Note: Once communications to WeatherLink are initiated and successful, the
streaming data logger will be unable to communicate with the Streaming
Data Utility until the Time Out Period expires. If you need to communicate to
the logger with both the Streaming Data Utility and WeatherLink, you should
communicate using the Streaming Data Utility first.
