Inhibit an input device

Each input can be inhibited individually by selecting a checkbox on the plmvoldevice record. This feature is available to both the Controller and Administrator.

Each input can also be configured to inhibit automatically based on the state of a status, multistate, or Advanced Logic Processor (ALP) record. For more information about configuring automatic inhibits, see Configure the Inhibits tab of the Plmvoldevice record.

During the inhibit period, zero volume change is assigned to each recorded minute. The Pipeline Monitor (plm) record continues to exhibit a Fresh state and continues to calculate.

When the inhibit condition is cleared, the volume change that happened to the device during the inhibit interval is ignored, and the minutes during this interval remain set at 0. The first recorded minute after the re-enable shows only the volume change for that minute.

For information on how to set up an Advanced Logic Processor, see Advanced Logic Processor (ALP).
