User's Manual Part 4

STRATEGIC Technologies Inc. Explanation of the Individual Status Log Repor

Report Reading Techniques

Individual Log Reports provide the officer with feedback regarding each participant monitored.

They provide detailed information on the activities of the participant. It is important that every officer

have a complete understanding on how reports are generated and read.

The system is extremely through in the number of events that are reported. The information

can be very valuable in determining the offenders’ activities. Due to the attention to detail, some

reports are difficult to read unless the user is aware of the philosophy to use when reading them.

1. PRU+ events are placed into the log file in the same order they are received.

When the PRU+ communicates with the Central Computer the events that were stored are

transferred in the same order they were recorded. ie. No sorting is done on the data received.

2. Report Filters

Reports can be generated using filters that can remove certain types of events from being printed.

These filters are usually used to remove any information that is either not desired by the officer or

only adds complexity to the report. Please consult your monitoring center on the type of alarms that

are included in your reports.

3. Multiple events can be sent to the CC during a phone call.

All events that are stored within the PRU+ will be sent to the CC when the PRU+ makes a

successful call. The officer can denote which events have been sent on each call because the first

event in the list will have a time received/ next call header. Non-violation events ( See Event Type

Definitions on Pg. ) will not be sent to the CC immediately but will be stored until the next time the

PRU+ calls the Central Computer.

4. Events have standardized formats

All Alarm indications are in capitals (ie ALARM AWAY). All Clear messages that indicate an alarm

has been resolved end with ok (ie ..info enter ok). Info events are for your information and are in

lower case.

5. The leave window affects when the PRU+ calls in with alarms.

The PRU+ will not record an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave until the leave window has been

exceeded. At this time, the PRU+ will generate an ALARM AWAY / ..info leave with a time that

reflects the last time the PRU+ received a transmission from the PID (ie the event is back dated by

the length of the leave window). Leaves that occur around the time of the curfew boundary will use

the curfew at the time the event was generated.
