Set Malfunction Alarm Output for Analog

Channels

Use the AERR command to set the analog output levels that are output in

case of a device malfunction. The default output level is 0.

AERR

Example:

aerr

Ch1 error out : 10.000V ? 0

Ch2 error out : 1.000V ? 0

NOTE

The error output value must be within a valid range of the output mode.

NOTE

The error output value is displayed only when there are minor electrical

faults such as a humidity sensor damage. When there is a severe device

malfunction, the error output value is not necessarily shown.

Set Alarm Limits and LED Indication for

Analog Outputs

Use the ALARM command to set the analog output alarm limits and

parameters. For an explanation of the alarm limits, see section Limit

Alarm on page 22.

ALARM

Before setting the alarm limits, verify the currently set analog output

modes using the AMODE command.

The following example shows that a high limit alarm has been enabled

for channel 2. If the measured value rises above the limit ( 0.90 a

w

), an

error is reported. If you are using a LED cable, the LED lights up to

indicate an error state.

Example:

alarm ?

Channel 1:

Low Limit : OFF

High Limit : OFF

Aerr : ON

Quantity : T

Limit Lo : 15.00

Limit Hi : 30.00
