Each input within the housekeeping rack is reported as an integer. In general, the application engineer will not
normally require these inputs. They are provided to aid fault finding and diagnosis and may be used for reporting
and display purposes.

Table 12 Rack 8: INFO descriptions
The active module chassis and slot numbers indicate the position of the currently active module.
These values will change to match the primary or secondary module position, depending on their active
status, i.e. active/standby changeover will “swap” the values for the active module chassis and slot
number channels with those in the standby module chassis and slot number channels. The chassis
and slot numbers are set to zero if the module is not present.
3.3. SYSTEM.INI File Configuration
There are many operating characteristics of the module that can be customised for a particular
application. The System Configuration Manager is a tool that allows the user to configure the specific
operating characteristics for each module. Descriptions of the items that may be configured for the
Trusted
TM Pulse Generator and Monitoring Module T8444 are contained in PD-8082B.
Certain characteristics apply to the entire module and are considered Module Configurable Items.
Other characteristics apply to individual output channels and are considered Channel Configurable
Items. There are specific default settings for each of the configurable items. If the default settings are
appropriate for a given application, then customisation of the module definition in the System
Configuration Manager is not required.
