Smart Setpoint

A Smart Setpoint evaluates the input measurement against statistical and historical behavior of that same input measurement. The following pre-defined settings are available:

Highest Value in last 30 days	Abnormally High Value
Lowest Value in last 30 Days	Abnormally Low Value
Highest Value in last Year	Abnormally High Value for similar time of day
Daily Value above 50% of Average	Abnormally High Value for the day of week

You can also define a custom rule for evaluating the input based on the options provided in the Smart Setpoint configuration window.

Schedule Selection UI

1	Schedule Selector Select which Schedule you want to use for this Alarm Rule. Using a Schedule is optional. Select None if you don't want to use a Schedule.
2	Schedule Options Use these options to edit a selected Schedule or to Add a new Schedule.

Summary UI

Alarm Status Measurement Mappings
By default, real-time Alarm Status measurements are disabled, which means that information about the state of the Alarm is only available through the Alarms application. Enable real-time Alarm Status measurements if you want to access Alarm state information in Diagrams, Trends, or other real-time applications in PME.

NOTE: These status measurements are not currently available in the VIP/Designer.
