GLOSSARY
TERM
DEFINITION
Analog Point
A point which is used to hold a value which has been measured, rather than being set to
one of two or four states.  The analog point is generally used to monitor plant
performance rather than in specific security applications; for example, where the rate at
which water is flowing through a pipeline needs to be recorded.  In such a case, a
transducer can be used to measure the flow rate and convert it to an electrical current.
The current is then recorded, as a number, by the RADC and sent to the PMC. It is then
converted into the required engineering value and stored in an analog point record.
Archive Rate
The rate at which timed archived data is transferred to disk.
Archive Type
A value from an analog point which has been calculated and stored on disk. Up to three
values can be taken from each point: minimum, maximum, and average.
Archived Data
Data which has been acquired from the RADC network and placed on disk.  Two
different kinds of archived data can be produced by the system: "Timed Archived Data"
and "Event Archived Data".
Attributes
Parameters associated with a station or point which indicate its operational condition (for
example disabled, alarm inhibited, etc.) or the style in which text appears in displays (for
example, bold, blinking, highlighted, etc).
Audible Alarm
The tone emitted by a workstation signaling the arrival of an alarm or indicating that the
operator has entered an invalid command which the system is unable to act on.
Audible Alarm Mask
The configurable ability to prevent acknowledged alarms from generating an alarm tone
when they reach the top of queue position.
Auto-Hold
A step in a monitor sequence which has a display time of 0 seconds. This indicates that
the display is held until the operator indicates that the sequence is to proceed to the next
step.
Auto-Poll
A poller used in a multiple DAU configuration to enable a DAU program to recognize,
whenever appropriate, that it is controlling data acquisition.
Auxiliary Display
A display which appears in the display frame for a temporary period and can only be
recalled by repeating the appropriate system command.
Baud
The rate of data transmission, defined as a number of signal elements per second (bps).
Bearer
The medium used to transfer data between the PMC and a RADC. For example, cables
or telephone wire.
Binary Point
A status point which can return only two conditions, for example on/off (see also Ternary
Point).
BTOS
The operating system supplied by Unisys.  Burroughs Technical Operating System
(BTOS), a message based, multitasking Disk Operating System.
Buffer
A part of the internal memory used as a temporary storage area.
Camera
In ICIDS, a camera attached to a CCTV subsystem.
