Probe calibration

[John Neuzil]

It would be nice if probe level alerts were automatically disabled when calibrating probes.

Agreed, this seems obvious. Especially if those levels are tied to some automated action.

You can always set the alert level to none before you do the calibration, but the alerts don't really bother me. I guess since I usually get hundreds of them in a day for the internet dropping out one or two more are not that big a deal. The alert level only affect sending of an alert and does not start any actions itself.

The alert does not but if some dosing is pH dependant it could have an effect. It would just be easier if calibration had no effect on alerts or etc.

Or just a "maintenance mode" toggle for inputs that freezes the output as is, and disconnects them from the system until the maintenance is complete.

That's probably a better idea.

For now you can override the outputs in the state you want them to stay in while doing the calibration. Also if you add a button box to your controller on a 0-10v input you can setup a button or switch input if you have one that also has switches. Then you can press the button of flip the switch and use an output with depends on that will keep the affected output in that state until the button press times out or the switch is flipped back off.
