Using Alarms
Alarms can be configured so that your instrument automatically monitors parameters and reports when those parameter
limits are exceeded. The procedures that follow describe how to configure response types for individual alarms, how to
enable them, and how to monitor them.
Configuring Alarms
Alarms may need to be configured in the Configuration menu. Alarms are initially set to factory defaults, which can be
restored by pressing the PRESET button on the front-panel of your instrument, selecting Recall Preset > Recall Factory
Preset, and
then pressing the SEL button. Follow the first p rocedure of this section (if alarm configuration is needed) before
performing the audio monitoring procedures. (See page 44, Monitoring Audio.)
