Topkapi software offers two operating modes:
1 – The configuration mode is used for function configuration, testing and fine-tuning of set-up parameters.
2 – The operating modeis used by operators to view and control monitored processes and facilities. Topkapi software
offers various working environments.

• Spreadsheet mode:process-related information is displayed in spreadsheet cells.

• Synoptic mode: information is presented in graphics form (drawings or photos). Operator commands remain accessible.
• Curve mode: this mode provides real time display of history data in the form of trend curves. The operator has an onli-
ne toolbox to configure the display of curves (zoom, comparison, samples value, automatic print and print on demand,
clipboard copy, etc.).
• Alarm and history mode: this enables the operator to view and generate process-related alarms. It includes real time
historical alarms. A large number of data processing functions are available, such as customised display, selective dis-
play and sorting, etc.
• On-call management mode and remote access:for automated installations, Topkapi allows on-call staff to be contac-
ted in the event of a fault. Such calls can be made via Minitel, radio paging equipment (Alphapage, Operator,
Eurosignal, Tam-Tam) or from a normal telephone via a speech synthesis module or SMS on cellular phones. The ope-
rator thus contacted can then consult the data and remotely access commands using Minitel, RAS client, voice synthe-
sis mode telephone key pads etc.
• Reports mode: this mode uses archived data to draw up summary tables for reporting. Such analysis can cover
different periods (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly). The reports are saved as text files. They can be used either
directly or opened under an Excel© spreadsheet for customised presentation.
