Terms to Know

AutoConfig

The System Types Setup form contains a button called AutoConfig. When you click this button, the PC software will contact your TopKAT site, retrieve its system type settings, and automatically insert them into this form.

Fuel Site Transactions

Each time a user attempts to obtain fuel at a fuel site, a transaction is generated. Successful, as well as error, transactions may be generated. Transactions may also be generated for such events as a fuel delivery or dipstick reading. Typically, raw fuel transactions are accumulated at your TopKAT site. You use the PC/TopKAT package to poll or collect the raw fuel transactions from the fuel management system, copy them onto the PC for viewing and create a RAWTRANS.DAT file for use with other applications.

Polled raw transactions are written to the PC database and stored as part of the RAWTRANS.DAT file. Transactions that contain bad data that cannot be stored in the PC database are written to a text file called BADTRANS.DAT.

Lockout

Lockout is the process of preventing access to the fuel site. Lockouts at the TopKAT fuel site are included in the vehicle and/or manual entry file. Lockouts using the vehicle file are by key number or vehicle/department combination. Lockouts by the manual entry file are on the name you select for your manual entry field. If you do not select a manual entry field name, the default is Employee.

Note: The manual entry name chosen for lockout must match the manual entry loaded at the

TopKAT.

You lock out or activate numbers from within the PC/TopKAT package and then send these changes to your TopKAT fuel sites as lockout updates during a polling session.

PC/TopKAT handles lockouts as follows:

• All lockout changes must be done on the PC (using Files>Lockout form). You can make additions, deletions, or changes.

• When the Lockout Updates polling action is selected for an unscheduled polling or autopoll session, the lockout updates are sent to the site via a lockout update file. The lockout update files on the PC are then cleared. If polling is unsuccessful, the lockout updates are not sent and remain on the PC until the next polling attempt (either at an autopoll time, or at an unscheduled polling).

Log Files

A polling log is a listing describing the outcome of a polling session. It contains messages for each site polled stating the date, time and number of transactions polled and the status of all polling actions. PC/TopKAT stores polling logs from the last seven polling sessions. These polling logs are named SESSION1.PLG through SESSION7.PLG. You can have the poll log

Page 10 MDE-4490 PC/TopKAT User’s Guide · July 2005

Terms to Know PC/TopKAT Basics

from the current session print automatically by clicking on Automatically Send Polling Results to Printer on the Setup/Communications Parameters form or print polling logs later from the View Log Files form on the Files menu.

Each polling log contains date, time polling started, a list of error (status) codes, and the following:

• Site number – number of the site polled.

• Description – description of the site polled.

• Time polling started

• Connect status – contains OK if connection to site completed successfully or an error code if unsuccessful.

• Trans status – contains OK if transaction polling completed successfully, an error code if unsuccessful, or dashes indicating that the action was not selected or was not executed.

• First Trans – contains number of first transaction polled.

• Last Trans – contains number of last transaction polled.

• Lockout Status – contains OK if lockouts were sent successfully, an error code if unsuccessful, or dashes indicating that the action was not selected or was not executed.

Polling (Autopolling, Unscheduled)

Polling is the process by which the PC software contacts a TopKAT and extracts the raw transactions from the TopKAT at the site. Another action, updating lockouts, may also be performed at this time. There are two polling options available through the Gasboy PC software: autopolling and unscheduled polling.

RAWTRANS

Autopolling is the easiest and most automatic way to poll your sites on a regular basis. You can include all of your sites, or just selected sites. When you set up your Fuel Sites, each site that you wish to include in the autopolling process must have the Autopoll Flag field set to YES. You can set the PC software to autopoll up to three times each day when the PC will automatically attempt to perform your selected polling actions. If connection cannot be established with a site, PC/TopKAT continues polling other sites and then makes two more attempts to re-poll the site. If an error occurs during any polling action, the connection is terminated and no further actions are performed for that site. Upon completion, a polling log is generated.

Unscheduled polling is a manual polling option that allows you to poll one or more sites at any time (on demand). Because autopolling is performed only on sites where the Autopoll Flag is set to YES, if you wish to poll other fuel sites (or even one typically scheduled for autopolling), you would use unscheduled polling. The available polling actions are identical to those you can select under autopolling.

When transactions are polled from your fuel sites, they are stored directly in the PC/TopKAT database. The default setting for the PC software provides automatic generation of a RAWTRANS file upon completion of polling (Communications Parameters form). The RAWTRANS file contains all transactions from the current polling session and is used to generate reports and to allow you to process your transactions, using another application. If you have this option disabled, no RAWTRANS file is generated and transactions are stored only to the database.

MDE-4490 PC/TopKAT User’s Guide · July 2005 Page 11

PC/TopKAT Basics Terms to Know

When you perform any operation affecting transactions (add, edit, or delete), you alter the transactions in the database. If you have Automatic generation enabled, you are given the option to include any edited or manually entered transaction in the next version of the RAWTRANS file.

Your raw fuel transaction file is created using the standard Windows format (your file is named RAWTRANS.DAT). The format is viewable in the online help from the Files>Transactions menu.

Reports

Three reports are available: system configuration, fuel site transactions, and fuel sites setup. Depending on the report type, there are user-selectable configuration options that can be applied to customize the report and up to four output options: preview, print, disk unformatted (comma-delimited), disk formatted (Crystal Report).

• Preview is available for all types and displays the report on your screen. A Print button is available if you decide to print it.

• Print is available for all types and sends the report directly to the printer.

• Disk (Comma Delimited File) is available only with the Fuel Transactions report and outputs a comma-delimited file that you can use in external applications. The format of this file is based on the sort by criteria you specify. There is also an option to output this data with a header line. This is useful for determining the layout of the data when preparing it for external use. This format is not available when Summary is selected as an output selection.

• Disk (Crystal Report File) outputs the report in Crystal report viewable format to a default disk file name or a file name that you specify. Crystal Report files are stored by default in the Exports subdirectory of your PC software, but you can change this destination if desired.

• In addition to the output options, the Fuel Transactions report can be configured for Details or Summary. Details will provide the entire transaction. Summary will provide totals only.

Reports Previewer

You can view a saved report when the PC/TopKAT software is not running by using the program GSBPreviewer.exe. This report viewer is present on your TopKAT software CD under the self-extracting file name GSBPrv.exe. Saved reports are stored by default in the Exports subdirectory of your PC software, but can be moved elsewhere, if desired.

To use Report Viewer:

1 From Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory where the GSBPreviewer.exe is located.

Double click to start the viewer.

2 Select File> Open.

3 In the Open dialog box, navigate to the directory where the saved reports are stored (i.e.,

\Gasboy\PC TopKAT\Exports).

4 Click on the desired report file.

8 Select File>Exit to close the Report Previewer.

Using PC/TopKAT

The following explains the details on how to use PC/TopKAT.

• Explore the package. Select the icons on the Main Page (Setup, Files, Communications, and Utilities) and familiarize yourself with what each one performs. Each Main Page icon brings up a menu containing functions that you can perform. Each menu item brings up a form that you can use to define your application or perform operations on your data. Each form has a Help button which displays Help screens pertaining to the form or topic displayed. If you get into an area of the package where you feel that you do not know how to proceed, click the Help button for more information.

• Complete the Setup>System Types form.

• Go to the Setup>Fuel Sites form and verify that all your fuel site information is correct. If it is not, make any changes at this time.

• If you intend to use autopolling, go to the Setup>Autopoll Setup form, and select your options.

• Go to the Files>Lockouts form to enter any lockout information updates you wish to send down to your sites.

• Go to the Communications>Contact Site form, and make sure that you can successfully contact all your fuel sites.

• Once you begin using your PC/TopKAT package on a regular basis we highly recommend that you set up a schedule for performing regular backups of your PC/TopKAT data. Backups can be performed from the Utilities form and also when you exit the PC/TopKAT software.
