Disclosed is the selecting of a limit value, such as an alarm limit, from a range of limit values dependent on a starting value. The selected limit value is applicable e.g. in a patient monitoring system for monitoring a physiological parameter for providing a signal when a monitored value of the physiological parameter exceeds the selected limit value. According to the invention, the range of limit values comprises a functional range with a functional relationship of the limit values to the starting values, and at least one non-functional range with no functional relationship of the limit values to the starting values.
