ION setpoint module learning

[RobGraham]

ION experts,

Does anyone know offhand what algorithm the setpoint module uses to calculate its learned limits?  That is, what is the output value--peak during the learning period, 110% of the peak, 2σ over, etc.?  This doesn't seem to be covered in the ION Reference, but I may be looking for the wrong topic, or maybe there's a separate white paper floating around.

I appreciate any pointers you can give me.  Thanks!

hello Rob,

One question I suspect will get asked is why do you want to know this info. The answer may help with what information is provided.

Regards,

Charles

Charles,

I'm putting together a short training class on meter logging and alarming, and I've found no information on how setpoint learning works.  I can't advise a customer on whether a feature is useful in their situation if I don't understand it myself.  

While I would like to know this myself, really I want it documented in the ION Reference so the operation is available to everyone.

Hello Rob,

Will contact you outside of forum.

good question....  i have similar concerns that it can possibly learn "bad" habits, then not alarm at nominal limits.

or does it just allow 'learning' of tighter tolerances?
