Fast Change

This is a type of Event generated by the system if a physical reading varies by an unusually large amount in a small space of time, and often indicates a change in Trend of something monitored. For example, a Fast Change might occur when a temperature increases too fast, but is still below the alarm Thresholds, giving an early warning that there is a problem. This is especially useful if a reading often varies slowly, and approaches a Threshold as a normal course of operating, for example daily temperature variations.
