Alarm Delay To prevent alarm notifications being sent unnecessarily for unit s which momentarily get disconnected from the network the user can define an alarm delay for Email and SMS notifications The RF environment as well as the network behavior are very dynamic and can result in very brief instances of units going offline In addition if the Receiver USB cable is disconnected or the unit is turned off for any reason and therefore the USB connection is lost an alarm will be sounded By adding a delay you can mitigate any false alarms e This feature is found on the Email and SMS Settings tabs in Tool gt Options Email SMS Reception Alarm Delay hh mm 05 amp Email SMS Offline Receiver Delay hh mm 00 05 e The alarm delay can be defined from between one minute to 24 hours witha resolution of one minute e Ifthe DataSuite software is shutdown during a period when alarm delay is being timed i e after a unit has gone offline then the time stamp when the unit went offline will be recorded When the software is reopened if the period of the alarm delay has already passed then an Email SMS notification will be sent If the alarm delay period has not passed then the SMS Email message will be initiated only if the time delay is reached 14 9 6 Analysis Menu Items The Analysis menu items are enabled when viewing offline data in History View The Analysis options available are e Functions Parameters 158 fourte
