User-defined comparison alarms

Last modified:

User-defined comparison alarms allow you to dynamically compare two or more data points. See also Available data points and categories. If there is a deviation, an alarm will be triggered. Like the user-defined static alarms, you choose which devices and measured values are monitored.

Example

If you have five irradiance sensors and want to check whether one is defective, you can compare the sensors to each other.
