4.5. Map Descriptor Examples
The driver processes messages from the panel that relay the panel’s current status as well
as new history events. These messages contain composite data and the contents cannot
simply be stored in a Data Array and then be read by some downstream device.
The Map Descriptors tell the driver how to store portions of this composite data from the
following categories. At least one Map Descriptor is required for each category.
1. Zone Status
The driver can store the state (trouble, alarm, pre-alarm...) of each zone in a separate array
as a 1 or zero state. See examples 1 & 2. The driver can also store a number in a separate
Data Array to indicate normal or abnormal state of each zone. (The value of the number
indicates the states.) See example 3.
2. Device Status
The driver can store the state (trouble, alarm, pre-alarm...) of each device in a separate
array as a bit state (1 or 0) . See examples 4 & 5
The driver can also store a number in a separate Data Array to indicate normal or abnormal
state of each device. See example 6
