Operating Status Variables
There are seven system variables which describe the immediate operating status of the DACS. These variables
are shown in figure 4 and are described in the following sections.
Figure 4. STATUS menu
% CPU Idle (boxIdleTime)
This is an indication of the amount of system CPU power which is not being utilized by the Model 2604. The
return value is a percentage of free CPU cycles since the last time the variable was read.
Running Since Last Boot (sysUpTime)
The time (in hundredths of a second) since the DACS was last power-cycled.
Total System Alarms (alarmTotal)
Total number of alarms currently active in the system.
Immediate Actions
There are several immediate actions (see figure 5) in superuser mode which will cause the DACS to operate
according to the descriptions in the following sections.

Record Current Configuration (storeConfig(1))
This feature saves the current configuration in permanent FLASH memory. In other words, configuration
changes made in the subsystem web pages become permanent when you select
Record Current Configuration
.
1.
Configuration changes in the DACS are made in the subsystem web pages by clicking
Submit Query
.
This stores the configuration in volatile DRAM (Dynamic RAM) only. Since the
Submit Query
changes
take immediate effect, the administrator can test different configuration parameters without needing to
change the FLASH configuration at this moment.
