Uploading 1000e/1200e/1400e Application Files and Alarm History Files
Publication 2711E-6.8 – January 1998
The PanelView 1200/1400e Transfer Utility menu provides access to
an application’s historical alarm data outside of the PanelView
1000e/1200e/1400e terminals. The Alarm History file can be
uploaded using any of the application file upload methods: Serial,
Network Direct, or Remote I/O Pass-Through.
Note: The Upload Alarm History function works only for
PanelView 1000e/1200e/1400e terminals with Version 02.00.00 or
later firmware.
Alarm History Information
The uploaded alarm history information is in ASCII text format, with
each field separated by a single comma (*.csv format file). The
header information—with the name of the terminal’s current
application file, number of alarms, and the time and date of the
upload—is the first line in the uploaded file. An example of the
alarm history header is as follows:
“my_app”, 128, 1997/06/20, 23:59:59
The header is followed by a line, which lists the fields for the alarm
record information, as follows:
Alarm Trigger, Alarm Message, Trigger Date, Trigger Time,
Acknowledge Date, Acknowledge Time
The third and following lines include the alarm records, each on a
separate line, starting with the most recent alarm. See the following
table for the format of each field in the alarm record.
