Hint.
If you want to set an alarm that utilizes the change rate alarm limit
but don't know which limit value to use, display the change rate on
the additional info row (see chapter Display Mode and Special
Measurements on page 81). Observe what happens to the change
rate during the event that needs an alarm. Then set the change rate
alarm limit accordingly.
Acknowledging Alarms
When an alarm is active, the Tools menu of the window with the
active alarm includes an option to acknowledge alarms.
Resetting Alarms and Alarm Limits
To stop using alarm limits, uncheck the Alarms Active field.
To stop using and clear all alarm limits, select another Function or
reselect the same Function.
Damping
Damping is useful when a measurement signal contains unwanted
noise. MC4 includes a set of damping tools.
To set the damping value, enter the following menu commands:
F1/ Setup  or F2/ Setup  (depending on which window you want
to configure damping to), F2/ Tools and Damping from the opened
menu. The damping settings apply to all main and secondary
measurements active in the window when damping was started.
