EMISSION-MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA
First Claim
1. A method for transferring data in an emission-monitoring system from a first computer to a second computer, comprising:
- generating a first message containing a first software variable having a first site-specific value that is transmitted from the first computer to the second computer, the first site-specific value indicative of whether one of a fault event, a maintenance event, or a calibration event associated with the first computer has occurred;
receiving the first message at the second computer, the second computer storing the first site-specific value in a first record of a first database, the first record being associated with the first software variable;
determining whether the first site-specific value is equal to a site-specific event indicator value indicative of an occurrence of an event; and
if the first site-specific value is equal to the site-specific event indicator value then generating a second software variable having both a first predetermined name and a value equal to a first standardized value indicating that an event has occurred, else generating a third software variable having both the first predetermined name and a value equal to a second standardized value indicating that an event has not occurred.

Abstract
A system and a method for transferring data in an emission-monitoring system from a first computer to a second computer are provided. The method includes generating a first message containing a first software variable having a first site-specific value that is transmitted from the first computer to the second computer. The first site-specific value is indicative of whether one of a fault event, a maintenance event, or a calibration event associated with the first computer has occurred. The method further includes receiving the first message at the second computer, the second computer storing the first site-specific value in a first record of a first database. The first record is associated with the first software variable. The method further includes determining whether the first site-specific value indicates that an event has occurred. Finally, the method includes if the first site-specific value indicates that an event has occurred, then generating a second software variable having both a first predetermined name and a value equal to a first standardized value indicating that an event has occurred, else generating a third software variable having both the first predetermined name and a value equal to a second standardized value indicating that an event has not occurred.

8. An article of manufacture, comprising:
-
a computer storage medium having a computer program encoded therein for transferring data in an emission-monitoring system from a first computer to a second computer, the computer storage medium comprising; code for generating a first message containing a first software variable having a first site-specific value that is transmitted from the first computer to the second computer, the first site-specific value indicative of whether one of a fault event, a maintenance event, or a calibration event associated with the first computer has occurred; code for receiving the first message at the second computer and storing the first site-specific value in a first record of a first database, the first record being associated with the first software variable; code for determining whether the first site-specific value is equal to a site-specific event indicator value indicative of an occurrence of an event; code for generating a second software variable having both a first predetermined name and a value equal to a first standardized value indicating that an event has occurred, if the first site-specific value is equal to the site-specific event indicator value; and code for generating a third software variable having both the first predetermined name and a value equal to a second standardized value indicating that an event has not occurred. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
