timed transmission would occur every hour on the 15 minute mark, i.e., 00:15:00, 00:30:00,
00:45:00, 01:00:00, etc.
BaudRate
The baud rate to use when communicating with the ALERT modem. The default is 1200, which is
the baud rate to be used when using the High Sierra ALERT transmitter.
Select Outputs
This menu shows how ALERT settings are configured for each output in the system . Pressing
SET/ENTER on one of the values will take you to the ALERT COMx menu for that particular
output, where you can configure the output for event and/or timed transmissions, as desired.
Note: this is the same as the ALERT Settings accessed via Measurements/Mx/Ox/ ALERT Settings.
Changes can be made from either menu.
Select Outputs/ALERT_ID
This property is a number between 0000 and 8191 that serves as the ID of the sensor on the
ALERT network. This number is typically derived from an assigned Station ID plus an offset for
the sensor value. For example, given a Station ID of 1620 and a sensor ID of 2, set ALERT ID to
1622.
Select Outputs/TxInterval
The interval for timed transmissions. When set to "00:00:00", timed transmissions do not occur.
When set to “01:00:00”, the value of the output is transmitted every hour, and so on. Note, the
TxTime property of the ALERT communications device setup can be used to apply an offset to
the timed transmission.
Select Outputs/TxEvent
Specifies the event that must occur to trigger a non-timed transmission. Values are HiLimit,
LowLimit, HiROC, and Always.
Off: disable event transmissions for this output
HiLimit: transmit when measured result exceeds Threshold
LowLimit: transmit when measured result is lower than Threshold
HiROC: transmit when change in measured result exceeds Threshold
Always: transmit every time value is measured
When TxEvent is HiROC, the "HiROCInterval" property becomes visible and may be set to either
"SinceLastTx" or "SinceLastMeasurement"
Transmit on “tip”:
In addition to the events listed above, you can
also configure the system make an ALERT
transmission on the occurrence of a change to
the counter or binary input, i.e.., on the “tip” of
a tipping bucket. See the Counter and BinIn
input types descriptions of “UpdateOnChange”
for more information.
