View Alarm Bands Configured in Ascent

measurements on your instrument. To do this:
1. Press or Record Review on the main menu.
2. Use the arrow keys on the left to select a recording for review.
3. Press Expand Navigator repeatedly to expand a machine until
its locations and parameter sets display.
NOTE: When you select a parameter set, its associated recordings
will display in the Review column. The newest recording is

4. Press Review Selected Recording.
5. Press > Press Extended Commands.
6. Use keys and to scroll down the list of available options >
Select Alarm Bands.
7. Press — The Alarm Band or Bands associated with the
measurement will display. The alarm name will be listed, followed by
the:
• Measurement type the alarm applies to (Spectrum, Waveform,
Demod Spectrum, etc.),
• Frequency range covered by the alarm in Orders or Hz/CPM.
• Alarm type (Peak or Power).
EG: Bearing Frequencies (Spectrum) 500Hz - 900Hz (Power)
indicates that the schedule entry includes an alarm named
Bearing Frequencies. This alarm applies to spectra between 500
and 900 Hz. It is checked against measurement Power values (i.e.
the overall RMS value rather than the highest absolute peak in the
frequency range).
NOTE: When you take a measurement that exceeds the alarm
band thresholds configured in Ascent, an alert notification will
display on the instrument above the chart display.
