Alarms are available for the system and for the channels. The channel alarms are setpoint alarms for
the recorded measurements (channels), such as the pH, level and power supply voltage. The system
alarms are for sensor timeout errors, power issues or digital inputs (digital inputs are available on
advanced model only). The user can set a maximum of 32 alarms. Make sure to configure the data
logging before this task is started.
