Cheetah Xi Programming Manual 2-1
P/N: 06-651 Rev 1, 09/2013
2.1 UNDERSTANDING CHEETAH Xi
The Cheetah Xi system is equipped with an extensive list of configuration parameters. Changes to these
parameters can be made either directly at the panel using its integral configuration menus, or by using the
system’s PC configuration software C-Linx. Not all of the system operating parameters can be set using the
panel’s configuration menus. Section 4.0 of this manual provides a complete description of the configuration
parameters that can changed at the panel.
To set all operating parameters for the system, you must use the panel’s PC programming software C-Linx.
Section 2.2 provides a complete listing of the programming features that are available through C-Linx for your
reference. Refer to Fike document 06-448, “C-Linx Configuration Software” for software details.
It is important to keep in mind that any changes made to the system configuration directly through the panel’s
configuration menus will only be stored within the panel’s on-board memory. To retain a back-up copy of the
system programming, you should download the latest configuration settings from the panel each time you
service the system.

Notes:
1. Peripheral device must be added to the Peripherals list before these configuration options are available.
2. This command contains status for Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble and all other states. Peripheral devices that have firmware
version before 3.00 should set this variable to STD, which is the original Cheetah Xi format. The ESP selection refers to an
“Expanded” format. Peripheral devices with 3.00 firmware or newer will used this command. The EXP setting speeds up
operation of the peripheral bus.
3. If set to COMPACT, a message filter within the panel is used to prevent transmission of certain history record events, including
the NEW DEVICE history messages. This is done so that the peripherals do not display messages that are not required. If set
to VERBOSE, all history messages are transmitted.
4. HISTORY PACKING refers to how many history records are transmitted back-to-back with minimum time in between. If set to
UNPACKED, history records are sent one at a time. If set to PACKED, up to 50 history records are sent back-to-back. This
will speed up transmission of large amounts of history data.
5. HISTORY MESSAGE refers to what kind of data is packed into the history command. If set to STD (standard), data is packed
as with previous versions. If set to EXP (expanded), both lines 1 and 2 of the history data as shown on the LCD of the panel is
packed into the history command.
