Format Interpreters

A format Interpreter is an advanced option that can alter the way a standard format is processed. These options should generally only be used after consultation with Patriot support staff.

There is an Interpreter option on each client available on the Event Types tab.

Use Zone Group Code

Redirects a signal from one area of a client to another area depending on which area contains the reported zone. Behaves in a similar way to the Use Zone Group Code option (see Area Code section), but has the advantage of only being applied for certain event types. The Interpreter will only apply when the event type record uses an action plan of Zone Info, or when the event type action plan has User Info and the event type also has a module value above 0 set. To configure certain event types to ignore this Interpreter, ensure the action plan of the event type is of signal type User Info (Opening or Closing), and the event type has a module number value of 0.
