the logger. The default and minimum setting is 5 seconds. Once the time
out period ends, the data logger will again check the alarm conditions to
determine whether to leave an output open or closed. You may adjust this
value if you want the alarm checking functions to resume later after com-
municating to the logger using WeatherLink or the Streaming Data Utility.
