2.6.2 deadbandtimeout
“deadbandtimeout” defines the period in seconds when a sample is recorded by the logger regardless of
the deadband setting. This feature ensures periodic data is recorded during extended periods of
inactivity. A valid setting for the deadbandtimeout is an integer between 0 and 16384.
2.6.3 dwell
Use “dwell” together with “deadband” to create an event trigger configuraion. The “dwell” tag defines
the number of consecutive samples recorded at the set sample rate after a deadband threshold event.
The deadband threshold event occurs when a sensor reading exceeds the last recorded value by the
deadband setting. A valid dwell setting is an integer between 0 and 65535. See section 2.7.2 for an
example implementation of the deadband/dwell features.
