9. Appendix D: Transactions Output Format
9.1. Header Record Format
Generally, there is only one header record at the beginning of the table, and it is internally
generated when the table is empty. It has the following format:
T#,YYYYMMDD
where
T#: Network Clock ID (1 byte)
YYYYMMDD: Operations start date (Y=year, M=month, D=day)
9.2. Change Date Record Format
This indicates the clock’s date change. This type of transaction is generated when there
are changes made to Date, Time, etc., and has the following format:
HHMMSS,S,YYYYMMDD,D
where
HHMMSS: Hour, Minute, Second when the change occurs
S: Transaction source, in this record it is always number 4,
meaning the transaction is generated internally
YYYYMMDD: Record’s new date and time
F: &-Date
Change
9.3. Normal Transaction Record Format
This represents a normal badge transaction; it contains the information polled through the
execution of a function. It has the following format:
Indicator 1 - à
HHMMSS,S,BBB...,F,X4,X3,X2,X1,X0[,S,D1...]
where
HHMMSS: Time of transaction
S: Source of transaction
BBB...: Badge number, variable length
F: Function executed
X4,X3,X2,X1,X0:Reserved for further use, 40 will appear in each position
S: Source of data (1-keyboard, 2-magnetic strip, 3-bar code)
D1...D8: Data collected in each function instruction, this only appears if
function F requires data and only the required data numbers
appear. If the function asks for only 2 pieces of data, only 2
will appear. If the function does not require data, this segment
will be empty.
9.4. Supervisor Transaction Record
When it reads a supervisor badge that wants to enter a new badge, a different record is
generated, this record has the following format:
Indicator 1 2 3 - à
HHMMSS,BBB...,F,S,YYYYMMDD,S,HHMM,S,BBB...,F,X4,X3,X2
,X1,X0[,F,D1...] from indicator #1 through #2:
