• The default values for the upper and lower alarm limits are “0”.
The lower limit must always be less than or equal to the upper limit,
even if you are using only one of the limits.
• For details on configuring alarms on the digital modules, see “Using
Alarms With the Digital Modules” on page 76.

*RST command) clears all alarm limits and turns off
all alarms. An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or
Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not clear the alarm limits and
does not turn off alarms.
