Security Features
15.3.1
Analog Monitoring
The test panel may be used to display the value of any analog point within the 6QBI
subsystem. The information displayed (unscaled raw value) will represent the digital
value produced by the subsystem's analog-to-digital conversion of the analog input
value. One (1) to eight (8) analog points can be displayed at a time. Analog points
displayed. Although the 6QBI hardware does not contain physical analog
measurement points of its own (it does have a readable 2.5Vdc reference voltage),
other analog point values within the overall subsystem can be displayed.
15.3.2
Status Monitoring
In this mode of operation, the test panel will display the status (on or off) of points
within the 6QBI Subsystem. Status points will be displayed in groups of 16
corresponding to hardware status point connections at the panel.
15.3.3
Accumulator Monitoring
Each accumulator (pulse count) point can be displayed by the 6QBI test panel
software to verify correct accumulations by the 6QBI subsystem. Up to eight (8)
accumulator points can be displayed at a time.
15.3.4
Control Operation
In the control operation mode, the 6QBI test panel software can be used to perform
local operation of the interposing relays within the 6QBI subsystem.
