Adding An Event Rule For A Data-Recording Device - Honeywell rapid eye System Administrator Manual

6. Set the communication parameters (Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bit, and Parity Bit) to values
recommended by the manufacturer of the device.
7. Ignore the Buffer Size for now, but see
8. To add a data-recording rule(s), see the next procedure.
Fig. 8–10. Some Devices can Be Searched for Data such as "No Sale".

Adding an Event Rule for a Data-recording Device

1. While or after adding a data-recording, serial device, as explained in the procedure Adding a
Customer Device That Sends Data to a Unit, above, click in the Event Name box and type a name,
for ex. "No Sale".
2. In the Event Rule box, type:
A code obtained from the manufacturer of the device. For example, a no sale message from a
device is coded as one or more numbers, or text. See the documentation for the device.
– or–
A regular expression of your choice; see the Search Rule and Regular Expressions: Reference,
next.
3. Click Add.
4. Buffer Size. The default value of 250 bytes should be adequate for most organizations, however,
consider that you may need to use a bigger buffer if any rules use wildcards (see table 8–6). For
large rules, change the number of bytes in Buffer Size so that there are twice as many bytes as
there are keystrokes, in the longest rule typed in step 2 of this procedure.
5. You have the option of adding more events, as many as 512 different events or regular
expressions can be processed for each data-recording device.
