The flexibility of Alarm-Link allows users to configure the software to their specific needs and categorize specific alarms as critical or non-critical. This determines what action is to be taken upon receipt of each type of alarm. For example, while processing a Low Pressure alarm (typically defined as a ‘critical’ alarm), the defined action might be to notify the technician on call. However, for a Low Battery alarm (typically defined as a ‘non-critical’ alarm), the defined action may be to send the notification to a printer so that corrective action can be taken at a later time.
Alarm-Link is easy to use, with software configuration, utility functions, reporting functions, and help information available through dropdown menus. Windows functionality makes most tasks a simple ‘point and click’ operation.
