Executing a Sequence on an Alarm Condition<br />
Features and Functions 3<br />
After you have defined a valid sequence, you can configure the instrument<br />
to execute a sequence when a reading crosses an alarm limit on a channel.<br />
The specified sequence will execute once when an alarm occurs on the<br />
specified alarm. If the specified sequence name is not currently stored in<br />
memory, an error will be generated.<br />
For more information on configuring alarms, see “Alarm Limits” on<br />
page 132.<br />
Assigning a sequence to an alarm will remove any other sequence's<br />
association with that alarm, as well as that alarm’s association to any<br />
other sequence.<br />
You can assign multiple channels to any of the four available alarms<br />
(numbered 1 through 4). For example, you can configure the instrument<br />
to generate an alarm on the Alarm 1 output when a limit is exceeded<br />
on any of channels 1003, 2005, or 3010. You cannot, however, assign<br />
alarms on a specific channel to more than one alarm number.<br />
The sequence will execute once when an alarm occurs, after which the<br />
trigger source will be automatically set to MANual. The sequence will<br />
not execute again until the trigger source has been reassigned, <br />
the alarm has been cleared, the association of the sequence to the<br />
alarm has been re- established, and the alarm condition exists again.<br />
Front Panel Operation: Sequence > TRIGGER > MANUAL|ALARM1–ALARM4<br />
Select MANUAL to remove an association without reassigning it to <br />
another alarm.<br />
Remote Interface Operation: To assign the sequence to a specific alarm<br />
number, use the following command. Specify the MANual parameter to<br />
remove an association without reassigning it to another alarm.<br />
ROUTe:SEQuence:TRIGger:SOURce ,{ALARm1-ALARm4|MANual}<br />
The following program segment selects the alarm source and configures<br />
the instrument to execute the sequence named “MYSEQ_1” when an alarm<br />
is reported on Alarm 1. The Monitor mode is used to evaluate alarm<br />
conditions on the selected channel.<br />
