6. Connect the speed sensor to the trigger connector on the Dynamix 2500
data collector when collecting data.
Magnitude Alarms in the Dynamic 2500 Data Collector
You can use magnitude alarms with numeric measurements:
• The Dynamix 2500 data collector supports above, below, in window, and
out of window magnitude alarms with numeric measurements.
• You must set Trigger to Yes for any alarms you want to appear in the
Dynamix 2500 data collector during data collection.
For more on how the Emonitor software combines alarms before sending
them to the Dynamix 2500 data collector, see Alarms and the Data
Collector on page 104.
Typical Numeric Measurement Definitions
This figure shows the setup for typical numeric measurement definitions. The
first two measurements are numeric (DC) voltage measurements, and the third is
a numeric manual entry measurement.
