Select the Capture for the asset you want to configure the threshold for.
Under Thresholds, click Add.
- Leave Direction as (– Any –) unless you want to configure different thresholds for N-R and R-N directions.
- Select Pressure Movement (Shared) as the Episode. This is a globally shared episode that represents the middle (movement) region of a pressure trace.
- Enter your desired value for the Max Upper threshold (e.g. 90)
- Click Save
Click OK to save the alarm.
Warning - Consistency checking
The effectiveness of using the shared (global) episode is dependent on the consistency between the shared episode and the specific asset you are configuring the alarm for. In some cases this may be so inconsistent that no alarms would ever fire.
Please read Validating the use of a shared (global) episode for an asset for further instruction.
