Description of all
System and Data Files
Unless otherwise noted, all files are located in Root
Directory i.e. C:\
1. Program Files
Four files - found in the
C:\PCC\ directory are...
 | Exec.exe - Flowcon Real-Time
Operating System |
| Pa.exe - Process Control
|
| Pb.exe - Printer Control
|
| Pc.exe - User Interface Control
|
2. Regular and
Special Data Files
| Sys.flo (required) - Bulk system parameters
|
| Zsys.flo (required) - Micro system parameters
|
| Ingr.flo (required) - Bulk Ingredient inventory and
parameters |
| Bin.flo (required) - Bulk bin parameters
|
| Bunksend.flo - Bunkreader data
file created externally |
| Invupld.flo - Todays daily usage
inventory. At an End Of Day, it is transferred to "Invupld.Fdd".
|
| Invupld.Fdd - (since
"dd" represents the day (01-31), you can have up to 31 of these files). They are
stored in
C:\SEND directory, and transmitted to a host
system upon connection. |
| Maintlog.flo - Contains running
times for attached devices (motors and such). To be used for maintenance purposes.
|
| Binmon.Fdd - Contains
records of manually run ingredients for the day. Found in the
C:\BINMON directory -- (dd
represents the day (01-31), can have up to 31 of these files). They are automatically
overlaid after a month. i.e. "binmon.f20" is an
optional file that contains records of manually controlled ingredient bins for the 20th
day of this month |
3. Bulk and Micro Formulas
(rations):
Each formula/ration occupies one file on the hard-drive,
typically located in the
C:\FOR directory. Bulk formulas use
the extension ".for" while micro formulas use the extension ".foz".
Valid names include any combination of alpha-numeric characters:
| 123456.for - bulk formula file
|
| 1hot.for |
| m1.foz - micro formula file
|
| 3.foz etc |
Temporary Data Files
| Print.tmp - All printed reports
created while the printer is off-line, are appended to this file.
|
| Ph.tmp - (Production History).
All rations and batches run since the last end-of-day report was run are saved here for
use in creating the next end-of-day report. |
| Bs.tmp - (Bunk Stack), a complete
record of all ration entries. Used to reload the stack should the system be shut down or
reset while items still exist in the stack. |
End of Day Report Files
These reports are created (in the order
listed) when an End of Day function is run (F8 Ctrl-F7). Together they represent the
entire printed EOD report, and can be reprinted later.
| Eod4.rpt - Physical Micro
Inventory Worksheet |
| Invadj.rpt - Micro Inventory
Reconciliation |
| Eod.rpt - Bulk Ingredient
Inventory |
| Eoda.rpt - Adjusted Bulk
Ingredient Inventory |
| Eodz.rpt - Micro Ingredient
Inventory |
| Eod1.rpt - Actual Production
history (by time) since last EOD |
| Eod2.rpt - Bulk Summary by
Formulas (since last EOD) |
| Eod3.rpt - Finished Feed Micro
Ingredient Comparison |
Diagnostic Files
These 2 files contain a "snapshot"
of memory. In an illegal situation, they can be created manually (F6 shift-F8). They are
also created automatically under certain circumstances.
| Common.adr - Contains the base
address of memory (length of 8 bytes) |
| Dump1meg.dat - Contains a literal
image of the first 1 meg of memory (length of 1 meg). |
