Data export for the Central Station

[brendan]

Hi there,

I'm involved in developing configuration software for a new FACP for the US market, including networking. We want to be able to export the configuration/descriptors/ContactID data to a CSV file (or similar) to help with importing the data into Central Station alarm automation software.

Depending on how we go about it, the file has the potential to contain thousands of lines of descriptive information for points/zones/nodes, etc. Is there anyone here who could help give guidance on how Central Station tends to enter this data, and what the expectations may be for how much data should be included?

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to assist. Being able to get in contact with technical staff from a Central Station could also be a huge help.
