Appendix A – Glossary of Terms
Archiving - Archiving is the ability to collect specific events as they occur. This data can later
be used to keep past records of alarm conditions, flow readings, tank levels, or anything that
can be monitored.
Automatic Polling Mode - MicroWIN will poll enabled entries at user defined periodic
intervals. Also, looking for and answering Call-Ins.
Call-In - A call made by a dialer to MicroWIN based on an event occurrence in the dialer
(e.g., an alarm). During a call-in, a dialer transmits a single Snapshot to MicroWIN.
(Note that the dialer phone number must have the telephone escape code *990 for
MicroWIN to recognize that it is a dialer calling)
Call-Out - This is when MicroWIN picks up the phone and calls to an entry’s dialer.
This is done to transfer some information with the dialer. A call-out can be initiated
either automatically or by a user. (Note that the dialer must be in Data Answer
Mode (**0581) for the dialer to recognize that MicroWIN is calling it)
Current Data - For a specific dialer, the most recent Realtime data that was received by
MicroWIN.
Entry - An association between MicroWIN 2000 and a dialer. Each dialer that is to be
communicated with will have its own entry. An entry stores all the information
gotten from its associated dialer.
Snapshot - A set of Realtime dialer information recorded at a single date and time. For each of
the 9 dialer channels recorded, the name/type/state/value/counter/runtime/ timeinalarm are
stored. This is recorded along with a time stamp to tell what the dialer time was when it was
taken.
Time Stamp - The date and time that a particular data set is transmitted by a dialer to
MicroWIN.
