2. DATA ACCUMULATION METHODS
General
2.01 As outlined in paragraph 1.04, the total values of each device
feature or service in the active registers are transferred to
storage registers. These registers may be printed or written to mag-
netic tape or a similar storage device, as desired.
Register Storage Methods
2.02 There are 170 traffic measurement registers provided. Each
register, whether usage or peg count, takes 2 bytes of memory
and is output as five ASCII digits. The type of data accumulated and its
register number is contained in Table 2-1. This data appears under
four major headings, as follows:
l
System Services and Console Activity Data - indicating the
extent of the activity of the basic system services (including
console traffic activity).
0
Features Data - indicating the activity of those features which
have been programmed for the installation.
,.
l
Outgoing Trunk Group Peg Count and Usage Qata.

l
Incoming Trunk Peg Count and Usage Data.

2.03 Traffic measurement data is accumulated in 1 hour blocks. The
start time and the run time are entered from the console. The
start time may be specified to the nearest minute, and the run time is
entered as the number of required hours. The basic 1 hour block time
is invariable. Once set, and until changed, the traffic measurement run
will occur at the same time each day. If the run is set for 24 hours, it
will run continuously.
2.04 Referring to Figure 2-l and considering Active Register 001,
data is accumulated during the first hour (Block l), and, at the
end of that block, transferred to Storage Register 001 with the Active
Register count reverting to zero. The data is held for 1 hour, during
which time it may be accessed and then replaced by the data count
accumulated during Block 2 time. If the run time is less than 24 hours,
the last block transferred will remain in the storage register up to 1
hour after the run commences the following day.
2.05 The foregoing method of transferring data values from the
Active to the Storage Registers, is used in the Standard Mode
method of operation. An exception to this data transfer method occurs
under Extreme Value Mode operation. When this latter mode is used,
the Active Register data value is only transferred if it exceeds the
value held in the Storage Register (see paragraph 3.03) at the-end of
the hourly period.
