Length

 

Length of Map Descriptor

1 – 1000

 

 

 

Controls how many elements of the data

 

 

 

 

array are controlled by the map

 

 

 

 

descriptor.

 

 

Address

 

This commonly used parameter has no

0

 

 

 

meaning for this driver. If specified it is

 

 

 

 

best set to zero.

 

 

Ckt

 

Specify the circuit number whose

Panel , 1 ,2 , 3 …. 131

 

 

 

message will get stored using this map

 

 

 

 

descriptor.

 

 

 

 

Use the keyword ‘Panel’ if the you wish

 

 

 

 

to store data from a panel. All messages

 

 

 

 

which do not contain the keyword ‘Ckt’ in

 

 

 

 

the action field are deemed to be panel

 

 

 

 

messages.

 

 

 

 

Valid panel numbers are 1-131

 

 

Dev

 

The starting device number for the map

0 , 1 , 2 … 126

 

 

 

descriptor. The length determines how

 

 

 

 

many devices can have their data stored

 

 

 

 

using this map descriptor.

 

 

 

 

Valid circuit numbers are 1-126 but this

 

 

 

 

driver allows a device number of zero to

 

 

 

 

allow for the storage of messages which

 

 

 

 

don’t specify a device number.

 

 

 

 

Ty

 

 

Clear_On_Reset

 

 

 

Yes, No

 

Store_As*

 

Only relevant when the

AsciiLog

 

 

 

Data_Type=’Dump’

ASCII

 

 

 

This tells the driver to store ignored

Value

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

messages in ASCII format or to dump

 

 

 

 

them in ASCII format in the error log.

 

 

Gamewell_Func*

 

Only relevant when the function is write.

Reset

 

 

 

 

 

Ack

 

 

 

This parameter tell the driver what type

Silence

 

 

 

of command to send to the panel.

 

 

 

 

You should always Ack before you

 

 

 

 

silence the panel.
