does not trigger an event even though the absolute value of the counter reaches 4, which is well above the high threshold. Figure 5 Example without an event Event settings This section describes how Fabric Watch compares a fabric element's data value against a threshold value to determine whether or not to trigger an event. It describes how a specified buffer zone impacts event triggering. Fabric Watch monitors data values for one of the following conditions: • "Above event triggers" on page 23 • "Below event trigger" on page 24 • "Changed event trigger" on page 24 • "In-Between triggers" on page 24 For Fabric Watch to monitor these conditions, the alarm setting must be set to a non-zero value. Above event triggers Use the Above event trigger for an element that requires only high threshold monitoring. In the Above event trigger, Fabric Watch triggers an event immediately after the data value becomes greater than the high threshold. Define a buffer zone within the operational limit of an area to suppress multiple events when the counter value fluctuates above the high threshold and buffer zone. Figure shows an Above event trigger with a buffer zone.When a buffer is used, the data value must be greater than the sum of the high threshold and the buffer value (event 1 in Figure ). When the data value becomes less than the high threshold again, Fabric Watch triggers a second event (event 2) to indicate that it has returned to normal operation.
