5. Driver Notes
5.1 Map Descriptor Keywords
5.1.1 AM6000_TypeID
This keyword sets up a category of messages. If you are interested in device state's use the
keyword device-only. If you are interested in system trouble messages use the keyword system-
trbl (An alternate method for reporting system trouble messages is provided using the keyword
system-styl2. )
device-only
Only device based messages are processed using map descriptors with this keyword. The Address
and Length parameters define the range of devices processed using the map descriptor. A device
address consists of a loop and device number. This driver treats the two parts as a single device
address. Thus loop 5 device 2 becomes address 502 for this driver and a map descriptor with an
address of 500 and a length of 100 would process a message from device 2 on loop 5.
system-trbl
System Trouble messages are processed a numeric value is stored in the first element of the map
descriptor's data array. If a new system trouble message is processed then the value is overwritten
with the new value.
system-styl2
This is an alternate style for processing System Trouble messages. If system trouble message
whose index in the list below is n is received then the nth element of the data array is set to one.
Make sure the length parameter is set to at least 50.
Catch-all
The use of this keyword is described in section 5.2
