The primary use of the ALERT output is to provide a signal notification of ambient temperature and relative humidity measurements that violate programmed thresholds. There are a total of four programmable thresholds for temperature and four for relative humidity, as documented in Table 7-4 and illustrated in Figure 7-16 below.
The four programmable thresholds are listed below
If the user application uses the ALERT output for environmental tracking, the best practice is to program these four thresholds prior to any temperature or relative humidity measurement acquisition. Programming enough separation between the Set versus Clear thresholds is important because a small distance between Set and Clear levels can cause the ALERT pin to toggle high and low due to measurement noise.
