Here are the calculations used to evaluate the alarm (assume that a decimal
146 was read from the port):
Since the calculations produce a non-zero result (decimal 16), an alarm is not
generated in this example.
– Remote Interface Operation (Totalizer Channel): To assign the alarm number
to report any alarm conditions on the specified totalizer channels, use the
following command.
OUTPut:ALARm[1|2|3|4]:SOURce (@<ch_list>)
To configure an alarm on a totalizer channel, specify the desired count as the
upper limit using the following command.
CALCulate:LIMit:UPPer <count>[,(@<ch_list>)]
To enable the upper limit on the specified totalizer channel, use the following
command.
CALCulate:LIMit:UPPer:STATe ON [,(@<ch_list>)]
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
