9-4-3 Modifying Time Parameters 
Time parameters control the following characteristics: 
Time Parameter  Description 
Interval  Amount of time between each verification of a threshold status. 
Trigger notice delay   Amount of time that a threshold violation is maintained before triggering an alarm. By 
default, an alarm is issued as soon as a condition is detected. 
Normal notice delay  After triggering an alarm, amount of time with no threshold violation before the alarm 
status is removed from the threshold. By default, a normal notice is issued as soon as a 
violation is no longer detected. 
Follow the steps described below to modify any time parameters. 
1.  Open the Groups and Thresholds Configurations dialog box and click on the Thresholds tab to access the 
corresponding tab page.

A threshold with these parameters verifies a threshold condition as per the specified monitoring interval. If the 
condition is reached, and remains that way for a specified time (Trigger Notice Delay), an alarm is issued. After 
the alarm is issued, if the condition returns to its normal state, and remains in that state for a specified time 
(Normal Notice Delay), the threshold is reset to normal. 
3.  Select an interval from the Monitoring Interval box. 
4.  To activate a trigger notice delay, select the Trigger Notice Delay check box and select a delay time. 
5.  To activate a normal notice delay, select the Normal Notice Delay check box and select a delay time. 
6.  Click on the OK button.
