Sepam device driver INI configuration settings

Sepam devices support two event buffers, which enables two concurrent primaries to read events. For all Sepam devices, the first buffer starts at register 0x40, and the second starts at register 0x70. By default, the first buffer is used; however, in certain configurations, there may be a need to tell the driver to use the second buffer. This can be done by adding the following section to citect.ini (see Customize a project using Cicode):

[Sepam]
[Parameter] [Default Value] [Parameter Type]
EventTable 1 //Valid values are 1 and 2.

Value 2 tells the driver to use event buffer starting at 0x70; any other value falls back to 0x40.

If the installation uses any other software—such as SMS, CET, or ION—the setting in that application should be buffer 2.

[Parameter] [Default Value] [Parameter Type]
EventIdle 500 Integer

‘EventIdle’ is the time the driver will wait before requesting the next event from the Sepam device. It may be possible to reduce this value to increase the rate at which alarms can be retrieved from the device.

Example.

[SEPAM40.MYCLUSTER.PORT_1.DEVICE_A]
EventIdle 200
