Introduction
With example program AlarmEval we had evaluated module Alarms for different timing and recovery test cases.
This example program AlarmTest simply re-runs a few of the same tests relevant to the simplified library module Alarms. The module API only changes regarding the initialisation of the alarm device RECORD (Alarms.Init).
Library Module Alarms
See AlarmEval, section Module Alarms, with the change that only option 2, ie. retiming, is implemented.
The Example Program
The program module AlarmTest is just a simplified variant of AlarmEval. The description in AlarmEval still applies, mutatis mutandis.
Refer to AlarmEval for the description of the test cases, the output, and the corresponding observations and conclusions. I’ll just show the results here. The test parameters are listed in the output.

The simplified library module Alarms appears to work properly.
Output Terminal
See Set-up, one-terminal set-up.
Build and Run
Build module AlarmTest with Astrobe, and create and upload the UF2 file using abin2uf2.
Set Astrobe’s memory options as listed, and the library search path as explained.
