Vaisala IceCast IceAlarm
IceAlarm is an easy-to-use application
module that complements the IceCast software suite. It offers a
user-configurable method of generating alarms based on pre-defined criteria.
Alarms are generated in both audible and visual form.
The application can run on a Windows based IceCast
IceView workstation, usually in a 24 hour manned environment. It is
important that IceAlarm always has constant access to the
sensor database.
Individual alarm conditions can be set for: -
- Rising values (e.g. wind gust speeds)
- Falling values (e.g. road/runway surface temperatures)
- Values which equal a particular setting (e.g. 'Ice')
- Values which are missing from the data received from the weather
station
There is also the facility to enable the user to set the
level at which these alarms ‘re-alarm’ themselves. This facility means that once
an alarm has occurred it will not keep repeating itself unnecessarily.
In addition, the PC loudspeaker (or sound card) is triggered
so as to simultaneously generate an audible alarm tone.
