Information over and above the device and zone states is available such as the number of
events in alarm state, whether the alarm is silent or on … This data is stored in consecutive
array locations. Appendix A.5 of this manual maps the layout of this data. See example 7
4. History Events
Every time the panel sees an event it will place in its own history buffer it transmits a
message. This driver processes the message and stores the event code (most recent) in a
location based on the source device’s address. This gives an array of the most recent
events for all devices. See example 8
The driver can also store the entire history event record in a Data Array. Appendix A.4 maps
the layout of this data. This record includes data such as the time and date. See examples
9 & 10
5. Acknowledging Alarms
There are significant limitations on the driver’s ability to send alarm acknowledgements to
the panel. Refer to Appendix A.6 this manual for more information. See example 11 for a
Map Descriptor which can be used to get the driver to acknowledge alarms.
