The Optica supports two alarm set points: The above response shows
the settings for alarm 1 and alarm 2 in that order. (Note that the index
is referenced from 0 , not 1). Alarm 1 parameters are described below.
Alarm 1 Settings: Alarm type = 2
(SetPoint, InnerBand, Outerband, Control, Service, Pacer)
2 here indicates Outerband
Enabled = True (Alarm 1 is enabled.)
Unit Offset = 2 (% RH)
See the Optica manual or use the GetHTPLabels for the list of
available units and the order.
Type = 2 ( ignore this value)
LowerLimit = 18.000000 (the Lower limit is 18 %RH)
UpperLimit = 26.000000 (The Upper limit is 26 %RH)
