Additional Features and Operation
Alarm Settings/Rules
In MadgeTech 4, alarms can be created
on two levels; in the software itself, and
programmed specifically to the data logger.
Creating alarm rules in the software allows
the user to utilize alarms while real time
recording, and have the added benefit of
features such as e-mail and SMS notification.
An alarm that is programmed on the data
logger will only alert the user from the
device itself, whether that is by a flashing
LED, audible alarm, or local LCD notification.
