1-4 Using The Fast Track 2+2/386 2000 Series Timer

You can select, group, and analyze any of the data the Timer collects, with the Timer providing both detail and summary reports showing how vehicles move through your drive-thru. Reports print automatically on a regular schedule.

When the Timer is installed, it is programmed to automatically display data and produce reports based on your store’s requirements. You view its various types of data on many different display screens, and the system allows you to modify its functions to fit your requirements.

As cars arrive and depart from your drive-thru stations, the Timer adds database event records that include date and time of day information for reporting and comparison. These include:

#￿ Event records when your communications system is used to greet cars

#￿ Status records for events like application of power or entry of a security password

#￿ Exception records for unusual conditions

NOTE: The Timer’s memory management should meet your needs. When its memory is full, it deletes the oldest data as required to free space and then continues recording new data. If you have a legitimate reason for discarding all your historical data, select [RESET MEMORY] to display the Clear Memory screen.

You will use only a few of the Timer’s many features on a daily basis. A numeric password or Access Code – to protect your configuration from accidental changes – is required to use some of these features.

This manual will show you how to use these powerful tools.
