A-6 Appendix A – Data Dictionary Values
Table A-1 Data Dictionary Variables (continued)
VID Class Format Name and Description
57 DV U4 GEMLIMITSVID. Contains the VID of the variable whose value crossed
defined limits.
60 EC U2 GEMLIMITSDELAY. Determines how often the Equipment checks if
variables are within the defined limits (seconds).
61 EC BOOL Internal to the Equipment. The Host should not access this variable.
62 EC BOOL OVERWRITESPOOL. This EC determines the action to be taken by the
Equipment when the Spool file reaches its capacity.
TRUE = Overwrite Spool
FALSE = Do Not Overwrite Spool
63 EC U4 CONFIGSPOOL. This EC determines whether spooling is enabled or
disabled for this Equipment.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
67 DV U4 ECIDCHANGE. The VID of the Equipment Constant most recently
changed by the Operator.
71 EC U1 TIMEFORMAT. Determines whether STIME is sent in 12-byte or 16-byte
format.
0 = 12-byte data format
1 = 16-byte data format
101 SV A[20] SoftwareID. The FmNT SW name and version code. The software name
format is: “FmNT M.mm A - 7ltrSuf”. The version is in Major and minor
format with a period separating the parts. Up to seven letters in an
alphanumeric suffix follow the capitol A and hyphen in the name as
shown. Spaces pack any remaining space to the right of the software ID.
102 SV A[30] MachineID. The machines Model number and Serial number. The
MachineID format is: “Model SNXXXXX “. The Model field is fixed at
twenty characters. The Serial Number field is fixed at ten characters and
contains up to five characters in the serial number. Spaces pack any
remaining space to the right of both fields.
103 SV A[30] PPDirectory. The directory path holding the Process Programs. The
format is: “vol:\dir1[\dir2[\dir3]]”. Brackets indicate optional directory
levels. The volume indicator is a single letter.
104 SV A[12] EventLogFilename. The name of the file holding the event records log.
The DOS 8.3 file name format is used. There are up to eight characters
reserved for the name and up to three characters for the extension. The
name and extension are thus separated by a period: “name.ext”. The file
name is left justified within the character string and spaces pack any
remaining space to the right of the file name.
