Global Alarm: The Global Alarm establishes a single measurement parameter with a range of
acceptance. Whenever the measured value exceeds this range of acceptance,
an audible and visual alarm will be issued. The Global Alarm will apply to any
test that is run. The QC Limit also establishes a measurement parameter with a
range of acceptance; however, the QC Limit is applied only to the test in which
it is defined.
The Global Alarm can be set for any of the four measurement parameters including;
Shear Stress, Temperature, Torque and Viscosity. Once a parameter is selected,
both low and high limits must be entered. These limits are independent of the
spindle and speed selected. When the global alarm is triggered, the DV3T will
provide an audible alarm and a Warning message on the screen (see Figure V-8).
The error message will provide some detail about the alarm condition. The test
and data collection will continue while the Warning message is displayed. The
audible alarm will continue to sound until the operator touches the OK button
within the Warning box.
