AUSTIN - TiPS, Inc., developer of LogMate, the industry's favorite user-oriented
alarm management software, today announces patent approval of their industry-le

, prioritization and alarm limit calculations. However, LogMate is the only alar

"The tool streamlines the Documentation and Rationalization process by recommend

ing the setting for the alarm activation point, which is a foundational requirem
ent of a properly configured alarm," said Rothenberg. "All current standards and
guidelines call for the value to allow enough time for proper handling of the a
bnormal condition. While this is straightforward in concept, the actual setting
is more involved. LogMate includes a tool that will calculate a recommended alar
m activation point value directly, saving time and removing bias from the proces
s." The alarm limit calculation tool is included in the latest releases of LogMa
te, versions 7.20 and higher. It is recommended that LogMate customers install t
he latest version to ensure optimum performance.
