Generating Reports
Three tactile pushbuttons are provided on the front of the P925TS-X Interface Card to
allow the user to trigger pre-defined reports from a 9000TS System using the
sequential of event feature.
Caution
:-
Depending on the type of report required the resulting print out may be several pages
long and therefore the printer will be fully utilised while the print out is in process. To
prevent accidental triggering of reports each pushbutton must be held down for a short
period to confirm that the report should be printed.

Buffers
The following buffers are available within the interface card.
FUNCTION CAPACITY
Sort Buffer
1,000 Events
AMS Buffer
1,000 Events
Printer Buffer
1,000 Events
Please note these buffers are in addition to the 1,000 event buffers located on each 16
channel card within the system. As an example a 19” rack containing 13 input cards is
capable of storing 13,000 events in addition to the above.
Sort Delay Period
In applications where alarm bursts occur in quick succession the user can software
configure a sort time delay period in seconds to ensure that data remains in strict time
order. Once the sort delay period has elapsed the information is passed onto the AMS
and Printer buffers when requested.
