WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that
particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits.
Selecting a Temperature for Monitoring
Tell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label
is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that
label’s stored color and alarm settings.
1 In the Setup <Temp> menu, select Label.
2 Select the appropriate label from the list.
Extended Temperature Label Set
The following additional labels are available if Label Set is set to Full. This setting can only be
changed in Configuration Mode.
Note that if your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the additional labels in the extended
label set may not be correctly displayed. See the Configuration Guide for your monitor for more
information.
Calculating Temp Difference
The monitor can calculate and display the difference between two temperature values by subtracting
the second value from the first. The difference is labeled
Temp.
1 In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements.
2 In the Setup Temp menu, select First Temp.
3 Label the measurement source as appropriate.
4 Select Second Temp.
5 Label the measurement source as appropriate.
The Temp value is not available when the X2 is connected to a host monitor.
