Note

Limit evaluation at close depends on both limit checking settings configured in the Data Collection:

  • Data Collection - On Close: warning and error limits are evaluated when the instance is closed, and any configured protocols are opened at that time.
  • Data Collection - On Post: limit violations are typically evaluated during posting, although values finalized at close can still be checked as part of the closing logic.
  • Data Collection Parameter - Individual Value: limits are checked against each value.
  • Data Collection Parameter - Calculated Value: limits are checked against the calculated value defined by the parameter calculation and grouping mode.
