Report Reading Techniques

Individual Log Reports provide the officer with feedback regarding each participant monitored.

They provide detailed information on the activities of the participant. It is important that every officer

have a complete understanding on how reports are generated and read.

The system is extremely thorough in the number of events that are reported. The information

can be very valuable in determining the offenders’ activities. Due to the attention to detail, some

reports are difficult to read unless the user is aware of the philosophy to use when reading them.

1. ACU events are placed into the log file in the same order they are received.

When the ACU communicates with the Central Computer the events that were stored are

transferred in the same order they were recorded. i.e. No sorting is done on the data received.

2. Report Filters

Reports can be generated using filters that can remove certain types of events from being

printed. These filters are usually used to remove any information that is either not desired by

the officer or only adds complexity to the report. Please consult your monitoring center on the

type of alarms that are included in your reports.

3. Multiple events can be sent to the CC during a phone call.

All events that are stored within the ACU will be sent to the CC when the ACU makes a

successful call. The officer can denote which events have been sent on each call because the

first event in the list will have a time received/ next call header. Non-violation events (See Event

Type Definitions on Page 42) will not be sent to the CC immediately but will be stored until the

next time the ACU calls the Central Computer.

4. Events have standardized formats

All Alarm indications are in capitals (i.e. ALARM AWAY). All Clear messages that indicate an

alarm has been resolved end with ok (i.e. ..info enter ok). Info events are for your information

and are in lower case.

5. The leave window affects when the ACU calls in with alarms.

The ACU will not record an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave until the leave window has been

exceeded. At this time, the ACU will generate an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave with a time that

reflects the last time the ACU received a transmission from the iTX (i.e. the event is back dated

by the length of the leave window). Leaves that occur around the time of the curfew boundary

will use the curfew at the time the event was generated.
