3-6. Collection / Consolidation system This section provides the general description of the data collection / consolidation system of the QT-6600. The collection / consolidation system is managed by the master/satellite system using inline network. Installation of any special hardware devices is not required for collection / consolidation as inline interfaces are standard feature. Communication is possible with the connection of inline cable. In this section, the term "master" means a terminal which collects or consolidates data registered on each terminal (called "satellite") connected the inline. The differences between collection and consolidation are as follows. - Collection Outputs the data of the master and individual satellite terminals from the master terminal. - Consolidation Totals data from the master and satellites, and then output it to a specific device. - Collection / Consolidation Collection and consolidation are performed at the same time. Types of totalizer files There are following seven types of totalizer files: - Daily total files Daily total files accumulate registered data. - Periodic total 1 files These files accumulate registered data at the point of sale, and can be reset independently from the daily total files. Therefore, the total data within specific period can be accessed by using these files. - Periodic total 2 files These files have same functions as the periodic total 1 files, but can reset independently for getting the different periodic total data within different period. - Daily consolidation files These are files to consolidate the daily data. - Periodic total 1 consolidation files These are files to consolidate the periodic 1 data. - Periodic total 2 consolidation files These are files to consolidate the periodic 2 data. - Consolidation work files These files are work files to collect or consolidate the data of daily total, periodic total 1 or periodic total 2 files. The daily consolidation files, periodic total 1 consolidation files, periodic total 2 consolidation files and consolidation work files must be reserved as work files at the master terminal during collection / consolidation operations. NOTE: Only a file with the same number of records as the records of corresponding daily total files need to be reserved. For example, if the number of department is 50, then the same number, 50 records, should be reserved for department of other types. QT-6600 Reference Manual R-121
