1.9.3 GEM Configuration
This Equipment is configurable for operation with most older Host computers which do not support the
GEM message set, or support an older version of GEM.
1. Equipment constant “CONFIGALARMS” (VID 1) selects the message the Equipment will send
for Alarm Reports. “ConfigAlarms” may be 0, 1, or 2, selection S5F1, S5F71, or S5F73,
respectively.
2. Equipment constant “CONFIGCONNECT” (VID 2) selects the message the Equipment will
send for Connect Request. “ConfigConnect” may be 0, 1, or 2, selecting S1F1, S1F65, or
S1F13, respectively.
3. Equipment constant “CONFIGEVENTS” (VID 3) selects which message the Equipment will
send for Event Reports. If “ConfigEvents” is 0, the Equipment will send S6F9 for normal
(unannotated) Event Reports or S6F3 for annotated Event Reports. If “ConfigEvents” is 1, the
Equipment will send S6F11 for normal Event Reports or S6F13 for annotated Event Reports.
4. Equipment constant “RPTYPE” (VID 17) selects whether the Equipment will send “normal”
Event Reports (S6F9 or S6F11) or annotated Event Reports (S6F3 or S6F13).
RpType = “False”. Equipment will send “normal” Event Reports.
RpType = “True”. Equipment will send annotated Event Reports.

5. For a non-GEM Host, build appropriate Report Definitions, Links, and Enables (S2F33,
S2F35, S2F37) so that S6F9 or S6F3 Event Reports contain the desired data.
6. Equipment constant “WBITS5” (VID 19) selects whether Stream 5 primary message
(S5F1, S5F71, and S5F73) sent by the Equipment will have the W-bit set to “0” or “1”.
7. Equipment constant “WBITS6” (VID 20) selects whether Stream 6 primary messages
(S6F1, S6F3, S6F9, S6F11, and S6F13) sent by the Equipment will have the W-bit set
to “0” or “1”.
8. Equipment constant “WBITS10” (VID 18) selects whether Stream 10 primary message
S10F1 sent by the Equipment will have the W-bit set to “0” or “1”.
9. Equipment constant “CONFIGSPOOL” (VID 63) configures whether the Equipment
will transition to “Spool Active” state when a RTY error occurs.
