Valarm

Use Valarm to monitor data and alert you to potential problems. Valarm monitors channels in your system and signals warnings and alarms both audibly and visually.

Valarm is highly customizable, with Vaccess dedicated channel links for reporting and control. The Vaccess database supports the following alarm types, all of which can be displayed and manipulated with the Valarm monitoring package :

• Upper Alarm (HIGH-HIGH)
• Upper Warning (HIGH)
• Lower Warning (LOW)
• Lower Alarm (LOW-LOW)
• Binary Alarm (Discrete)
• Value Match (Integer)
• Rate of Change Warning
• Rate of Change Alarm
• Delayed Alarms and Warnings
• Alarm and Warning Hysterecis
• Hardware Error I/O Error

Using custom lists of channels, Valarm sets priorities and reports alarms anywhere on your system, locally or globally.
