The sample data is tested against high limits (High and High High), and against low limits (Low and Low Low).<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">The process can be specified to test against both high and low limits (High, High High, Low and Low Low), just against High limits (High and High High), or just against Low limits (Low and Low Low).<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-toc-heading\">Events<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">When a new state is reached then a new event is raised. The severity for that state is specified in the state configuration panel of the test.<\/p>\n<p class=\"no-toc-heading\">Values for the Limits<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">The High High, High, Low, and Low Low limits can be defined as one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">A fixed numerical value (Fixed Value)<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">A variable input value defined as one of:<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">Attribute (if the test\u2019s <strong>Source<\/strong> is Entity or Hierarchy)<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">Source Tag (if the test\u2019s <strong>Source<\/strong> is Tag)<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">Calculation<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">Tag<\/li>\n<li class=\"intro-text\">Entity Attribute<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"no-toc-heading\">Optional Process Parameters<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">This feature allows Sentinel to use process limits of assets with missing attributes.

Transition from one state to another is equally dependent on the current evaluation of data, and on the current state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">State transitions cause events to be raised, allowing for the escalation of actions via the Sentinel framework. Different actions can be assigned to different state outcomes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">In the Alarm process, any state can transition to any other state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">For example, the default state can transition to the high high state or the high state.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"page-subheading\">Test Outcomes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"intro-text\">The following outcomes are possible when the Alarm process is executed:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody class=\"intro-text\">\n<tr style=\"border: 1px solid #cccccc;\">\n<td><strong>Default State<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Data is not in an erroneous state and is within the operating envelope.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border: 1px solid #cccccc;\">\n<td><strong>High Exceeded State<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Data is measured against a high limit.
