MCT Firmware Version > 10.51

Eight characters are returned in the form: MMMMMM.T where the first six are digits representing whole distance, then a decimal point, then a final digit representing tenths of distance. The odometer reading is returned in units of miles regardless of country--specific firmware.

The display is dependent on the setting of the QTRACS system value QMKILO.

QMKILO = '0' causes the eight characters returned by the NMC followed by a space and the units ("MI" for miles) to be displayed.

QMKILO = '1' causes the 8 characters returned by the NMC to be converted to kilometers and displayed as a number with one decimal place followed by a space and the units "KM" for kilometers.

The units converted value is returned to the external application in an 11-character field as displayed. The format is MMMMMM.T UU where MMMMMM.T is the odometer reading and UU is the units.

MCT Firmware Version < 10.51

11 free format characters containing whatever information is entered by the driver.

Field behaves like an 11-character free format field. The field is not automatically filled by the MCT in this case. The router will store the free format data as it is returned, padded with blanks to obtain a length of 11 characters.

11-character string is sent containing data as entered by the driver into a free form 11 characters field on the MCT. The field will be padded with blanks so that a full 11 characters are always returned to the external application.

MCT Firmware Version > 10.51

Eight characters are returned in the form: VVVVVV.T where the first six are digits representing whole volume, then a decimal point, then a final digit representing tenths of volume.

The units of volume are always gallons regardless of country-specific firmware in the MCT.

The display is dependent on the setting of the QTRACS system value QMVOLU.

QMVOLU = '0' causes the eight characters returned by the NMC followed by a space and the units ("GAL" for gallons) to be displayed.

QMVOLU = '1' causes the 8 characters returned by the NMC to be converted to liters and displayed as a number with one decimal place followed by a space and the units "LTR" for liters.

The value as displayed (including units) is returned to the external application.

MCT Firmware Version > 11.38

14 characters (0-9, A-F) indicating the temperature values and trailer identifier in HEX representation.
Example: 1E45460002380
The temperatures are shown as 2T+40

where T is the temperature in degrees F. A temperature value of x'1E' is equivalent to a temperature of -5.0 F

The MCT displays this data as a 14-character field containing the HEX representation of the data.

QTRACS 4.0 displays this field in the body of return messages as a set of 4 delimited fields in 26 characters as follows:

Example -05.0 014.5 015.0 00009088 TEMP1 TEMP2 TEMP3 TTTTTTTT

where:TEMP1 is the set point temperatureTEMP2 is supply air temperatureTEMP3 is return air temperatureTTTTTTTT is the TrailerTRACS ID

Temperatures have a range of -20°F to 107.5°F

The external application is sent a 20-character field. The first 12 characters contain the temperatures. Each temperature is returned as a 4-digit zoned decimal (signed) value. The trailer identifier is returned in the remaining 8 characters.
Example: 005}0145015000009088

005} is the set point temperature. This value is equivalent to x'F0F0F5D0' which represents a zoned decimal value of -5.0°F.0145 (14.5°F) is the supply air temperature.0150 (15.0°F) is the return air temperature.
00009088 is the trailer identifier.

MCT Firmware Version < 11.38

14 characters in free format containing whatever information was entered by the driver.

Field is displayed exactly as above except that the contents of the fields are always set to 0. Any data entered by the driver is lost.

20-character string is sent containing all zeros.

Macro Field

Description

Arrival Date & Time (32)

This field is auto-filled on the T/MCT when a macro containing this field is edited.
The source of the data is the T/MCT's memory ~ this data is only available if the driver previously recorded it.
A driver is able to record the arrival data if his T/MCT has been enabled for 'Message Combining'. If so, the driver is able to bring up the new 'Arrival Screen' when he arrives at a stop and have the T/MCT remember the Arrival Time, which will later be used to fill in this macro field.
The QTRACS Macro Editor ensures that the Arrival Date & Time may only be used if the Enable Macro Arrival Fields account preference is enabled.

Message Send Date & Time (34)

This field will be auto-filled on the T/MCT when a macro containing this field is edited.
It will contain the mobile's current time.

The format of the data across the CI is a 7-character field as depicted below:
_TTTTTTT

TTTTTTT consists of 7 characters and represents the Arrival Time in GMT seconds since Jan 1, 1988.

This field is represented in base 36 format. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, or * to indicate error.

For firmware versions <= 16.20, the 7-character field can contain any character.

The format of the data on both the MCT and the QTRACS UI is a 22-character field as depicted below:
MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS ZZZZ or;
DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS ZZZZ
On the QTRACS UI, this field is formatted based on:
1. The setting of the Macro Field Date Format (*MDY or DMY).
2. The setting of the Date and Time Separators parameters of the QPGMR user profile.
3. The setting of the QTRACS System Time Zone.
4. For firmware versions <= 16.20, the 22-character field contains the 7 characters transmitted from the NMC followed by blanks; there is no attempt to format the field.

On the MCT UI, this field is formatted based on the following rules:
1. International date/time formats are not supported on the MCT. The format is always depicted as displayed above.
2. The timezone is displayed on the MCT based on the setting of each MCT. The host has no way of knowing what timezone the driver has currently selected.

The format of the data as delivered by QTRACS to an External Application is a 24-character field as depicted below:
MM/DD/CCYY HH:MM:SS ZZZZ or;
DD/MM/CCYY HH:MM:SS ZZZZ

This timestamp field is formatted based on:

1. The setting of the QTRACS Macro Field Date Format (*MDY or *DMY).
2. The setting of the Date and Time Separators parameters of the QPGMR user profile.
3. The setting of the QTRACS System Time Zone.
   This format is consistent with the EAL format of the Auto-Fill Timestamp (24) field.
   
   For firmware versions <= 16.20, the 24-character field will contain the 7 characters transmitted from the NMC followed by blanks.

Arrival GPS Position (33)

This field is auto-filled on the mobile when a macro containing this field is edited.

The source of the data is the mobile's memory ~ this data is only available if the driver previously recorded it.

A driver is able to record the arrival data if his mobile has been enabled for 'Message Combining'. If so, the driver is able to bring up the new 'Arrival Screen' when he arrives at a stop and have the mobile remember the Arrival Position, which will later be used to fill in this macro field.
The QTRACS Macro Editor ensures that the Arrival GPS Position may only be used if the Enable Macro Arrival Fields account preference is enabled.

Message Send GPS Position (35)

This field will be auto-filled on the mobile when a macro containing this field is edited.

It will contain the mobile's current GPS position.

The format of the data across the CI is a 10-character field as depicted below:

_LLLLOOOOMM

LLLL consists of 4 characters and represents the Latitude Coordinate in signed seconds (+ for North; - for South).

OOOO consists of 4 characters and represents the Longitude Coordinate in signed seconds (+ for East; - for West).

MM consists of 2 characters and represents the age of the GPS Position in minutes.

The LLLL, OOOO, and MM fields are represented in base 36 format. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, or * to indicate error.

If any subfield of this 10-character field is not valid it will be masked with asterisks ( * )
.
For firmware versions <= 16.20 the 10-character field can contain any character.

The format of the data on both the MCT and the QTRACS UI is a 25-character field as depicted below:

DD'MM'SS'X DDD'MM'SS'X MM

DD'MM'SS'X consists of 10 characters and represents the Latitude Coordinate in degrees, minutes, seconds, and N/S.

DDD'MM'SS'X consists of 11 characters and represents the Longitude Coordinate in degrees, minutes, seconds, and E/W.

MM consists of 2 characters and represents the age of the GPS Position in minutes.

Note that the degree symbol is used as appropriate (not the quote).

If any subfield of this 25-character field is not valid it will be displayed with asterisks ( * ).

For firmware versions <= 16.20 the 25-character field will contain the 10 characters transmitted from the NMC followed by blanks; there will be no attempt to format the field.

The format of the data as delivered by QTRACS to an External Application will be a 19-character field as depicted below:

+LLLLLLL+OOOOOOO MM

+LLLLLLL consists of 8 characters and represents the Latitude Coordinate in signed base 10 seconds (+ for North; - for South).

+OOOOOOO consists of 8 characters and represents the Longitude Coordinate in signed base 10 seconds (+ for West; - for East). Note that the QTRACS position data stream sends + for West and - for East which is why this field is being sent in the same format.

MM consists of 2 characters and represents the age of the GPS Position in base 10 minutes.

This format is consistent with the formats of other position data that is available via the QTRACS/400 EAL.
For firmware versions <= 16.20 the 19-character field will contain the 10 characters transmitted from the NMC followed by blanks.

MCT Firmware Version > 16.61 and
TMCT Firmware Version > 21.73

Nine characters are returned in the form: MMMMMMM.T where the first seven are digits representing whole distance, then a decimal point, then a final digit representing tenths of distance. The life-to-date distance reading is returned in units of miles regardless of country-specific firmware.

The display is dependent on the setting of the QTRACS system value QMKILO.
QMKILO = '0' causes the nine characters returned by the NMC followed by a space and the units ("MI" for miles) to be displayed.
QMKILO = '1' causes the 9 characters returned by the NMC to be converted to kilometers and displayed as a number with one decimal place followed by a space and the units "KM" for kilometers.

The units converted value is returned to the external application in a 12-character field as displayed. The format is MMMMMMM.T UU where MMMMMMM.T` is the life-to-date distance reading and UU is the units.
