Abstract:
1. A method of monitoring one or more operating parameters in an electronic device, the method comprising: a) monitoring a first operating parameter, related to operation of said electronic device, to determine a first parameter value; b) using a microprocessor, microcontroller or logic circuit, calculating a difference between said first parameter value and a target value for said first operating parameter; c) monitoring a second operating parameter, on which thresholds for operational warnings and/or alarms for said first parameter are calculated, to determine a second parameter value, said thresholds including a percentage variance above and below the target value; d) using said microprocessor, microcontroller or logic circuit, updating or changing said thresholds based on a predetermined change or event in said second parameter value; e) comparing said difference to said updated or changed thresholds; and f) generating a corresponding one of said operational warnings and/or alarms when said difference crosses at least one of said thresholds in a predetermined direction.
