POLLING TRANSACTION INFORMATION
METHODS OF POLLING
Polling means gathering transactions from your fueling sites for billing or recordkeeping. Polling
should ideally be done regularly and at a time when the site has little or no activity. There are
several methods of polling you can use and each one has slightly different requirements. Consult
the appropriate section for your desired polling method.
Polling Using the PT Command
1. Press CTRL F or RETURN to establish communication with your GASBOY Series 1000
System. The system responds: SIGN ON:
2.
Type your system password and press RETURN. The
*
prompt appears.
3. Type
PT. The completed transaction file, since your last polling session, prints out. When
printing completes, the
*
prompt reappears.
4. Type
PP to print the pump totals since your last polling session. The
*
prompt reappears.
5. Type
TI to print your tank inventories. The
*
prompt reappears.
6.
If you are using totalizers for periodic totals rather than matching the totalizers on the pump,
type ZP command to reset the pump totalizers to zero. The system displays: RESET PUMP
TOTALIZERS? <Y OR N>
7. Type
Y and press RETURN to zero the pump totalizers. The
*
prompt reappears.
8. Type
RP to "free" memory space for more transactions. (See the RP command for more
details.) The system displays: ENTER NO.:
9.
Locate the number of the last transaction printed with the PT command in Step 4 and add 1.
For example, if the last transaction printed was number 1227, you would type 1228 for the RP
command. Type the number and press RETURN.
Polling Using the ST Command
When using the ST command, it is very important to perform polling when there is no activity at
the site. If you wish, you may use the SD command to shut down the site during polling.
1. Press CTRL F or RETURN to establish communication with your GASBOY Series 1000
System. The system responds: SIGN ON:
2.
Type your system password and press RETURN. The
*
prompt appears.
3. Type
PD. The system prints the date, time, first transaction to print, and last completed
transaction number. Then the
*
prompt appears.
4. Type
ST. The sorted transaction file, since your last polling session, prints out. When
printing completes, the
*
prompt reappears.
