Alarm monitors are useful to inform you of certain conditions in your telemetry data.
An Alarm Monitor monitors one data item with a trigger condition. The alarm trigger condition can be any operation that returns a boolean result. You can define the actions that you want to invoke once the alarm fires. The possible actions are:
a) Write message to the message window.
b) Write message to a log file.
c) Send command.
d) Execute Python function.
e) Send email.
You configure the alarm monitor in a GSEOS configuration file. For more information on the alarm monitor configuration file please see the Alarm Monitor Configuration section.
