# Sensor settings To modify an existing sensor settings, right click it in the tree view and select “Settings”. There are several tabs in the sensor settings form. Some of them are identical for all the sensors and some are specific and are present only for certain types of sensors and nodes. Depending of your user level all tabs might not be visible. Please also note that some of the tabs are not shown during the sensor/node installation and the parameters for them must be set after sensor installation. To save the modified settings, always use “Save” or “Apply”. ## General tab ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-edeb5f537ebfba8b9a93dff827bbaa5f09dfef1f%2Fimage210.png?alt=media) | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | A unique sensor name. | | Note | An optional description field, shown in tree view. | | Show in “Tree view” checkboxes | A note and the last value can be displayed in tree view. | | Groups | Groups to which the sensor may be assigned. At least one of them must be selected. | | Sensor index, type, description | Information, not editable. | ## Logging tab ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b2cb91b9f1ebf36dbe1a0c22d9897813b7c66c13%2Fimage211.png?alt=media) | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Sensor check interval | The period used for reading the sensor. Set from 1 minute to 57000 minutes (950 h or more than 39 days). | | Alarm filter for sensor measure check | The alarm filter is the number of consecutive readouts outside the alarm limits which are allowed and will NOT trigger an alarm. | ## Graph tab ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a01c8d4c9d2defe492a9ba04b78bb1ecb9581869%2Fimage212.png?alt=media) | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Display decimals in graph | Number of digits after decimal point used in the graph. Depending of the accuracy of sensor the allowed number of digits after decimal point is different | | Max value of graph | Maximum value shown on the graph. | | Min value of graph | Minimum value shown on the graph. | | Use autoscale | The graph is adjusted automatically to show all the values for the period selected. | ## Alarm tab ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5fae5695151f00beea09a9586427c77645e554fa%2Fimage213.png?alt=media) | **Parameter** | **Description** | | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Use alarms | Enable/disable alarms from the sensor. Can be used to disable alarms from the sensor without modifying the limits e.g. when a fridge is switched off for cleaning. | | Use Filter Event | If the box is checked it will create an event in the event log, when the readout is outside an alarm limit but no alarm is triggered due to alarm filter settings. | | User must comment when signing alarms | When selected, a comment must be added when an alarm is signed. | | Disable the alarms temporary for the sensor | Disable alarms from the sensor temporarily for a period defined below. Has effect identical as “Use alarms” checkbox but enables the alarms automatically after the selected period. | | From: | Alarm disabled temporarily period start. | | Until: | Alarm disabled temporarily period end. | | Allowed high and low limits | Table with warning or alarm limits for the sensor. | Click “New…” to define a new alarm or warning limit. This opens an alarm limit definition form. Enter alarm label, high and low limit and select if it is warning or alarm. Click OK. You may define a range if both high and low checkboxes are selected or just a single limit if only one of them is checked. The label is used in alarm contacts settings when more than one alarm is used and different alarms shall be forward to different contacts. ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-24bcd97abc2877181b2e47baf520cb1c99c5de2e%2Fimage214.png?alt=media) Warnings using yellow and alarms using red color are handled by the system in the same way. Typically, a warning has limits which are still acceptable but look suspicious and an alarm is over the limits accepted. In the example below a warning \[33°C and35°C] and alarm \[32°C and 36°C] were defined for the sensor. The ranges defined are shown on a graph to make check easier. ![](https://800956157-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FvyGt5xgoAU3kZytuvW1J%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7877c0b7aa848bab3ab6fd532d0119d8001e02d8%2Fimage215.png?alt=media) Select a warning or alarm limit in the list and use “Edit…” or “Remove…” to edit or remove the limit. ## Node/sensor specific tabs In the sensor settings there are tabs which are specific for certain sensor and node types.
