Some temperature sensors have two types of alarms. An over-limit (max_alarm) alarm and a sensors failed alarm. We could do this a couple of different ways: 1. Name the alarm file for a sensor: temp1_alarm and have it take one of several values: "" (null string), "ALARM", "FAIL" 2. Come up with another name for the other alarm: temp1_input_failed? temp1_fail_alarm? 3. Some other idea I haven't thought of?
