Users can fast forward through uneventful stretches, and pause for a more detailed look when something catches their eye. Unlimited zooming aids analysis. Windmill Alarm Logger has been significantly improved, with many new features added. User-specified help messages can now be shown when an alarm occurs, giving instructions on the corrective action to take. Auto-dialling alerts engineers to alarms over the telephone.
Users can insist on a delay before being alerted to an alarm.
This is useful, for instance, when monitoring temperatures in a refrigerator. Here briefly opening and closing a door should not trigger an alarm. Also new is password protection, which prevents unauthorised users from acknowledging alarms. The new version allows a digital pulse to be output for a specified time period. Other commands let users ramp the values sent to an output channel, monitor and act on alarms, implement control loops, send sequences of keystrokes to other applications and so on.
