Yes. DPlot can be used to visualise when alarms had been triggered or reset during a recording. If a DBD file is opened and it contains alarm data, the user will be prompted whether or not to display these alarms. The TRUE state corresponds to an alarm OFF–>ON transition and the FALSE state corresponds to an alarm ON–>OFF transition. The alarms are displayed as a set of triangular markers underneath the data traces. These markers are colour-coded based on the alarm number. If the mouse pointer is hovered over an alarm marker then the corresponding alarm state, alarm text and the timestamp are displayed in a box. NOTE: Alarms cannot be viewed if the data was exported from the logger in CSV format.
