Alarm condition based on time?

On a Dash2Pro I am trying to implement a conditional alarm for oil pressure.

I want:

if(oilp<2bar AND rpm>2000 AND time > 500ms)
show alarm

It works now with:

IF(VAR_0010 >= 2000, VAR_3501, 10)

Then I trigger the alarm on the variable being < 2

Though it looks good while testing, the alarm occasionally triggers on the track. There must be a small transient setting it off.

How can I work the minimum duration into the equation? Is it just VAR_0001 > 500?

Where is VAR_0001 measured from? Start of logging? Start of "this"? etc?

Thanks

I'm interested to see if there's a direct specific answer to this; otherwise, I'd expect that filtering of the oil pressure signal would be the next-best thing...

You ought to be able to play with the filtering in the analysis software to find the desired result...
