7. 7. 1 Structure of the PC5 output format
The PC5 format is used to output incoming and outgoing call data (ICL and OCL) on
• stand-alone PBXs and
• PINX in private networks.
It is the most comprehensive PC format and is generally recommended when up-
grading with a new PC application for the acquisition and evaluation of call data.
The data is output in ASCII format in data fields. The data fields have a fixed field
length. All the data fields together form a data record. The data record begins with
a Tab and ends with a Carriage Return and Line Feed. These control characters are
output with hexadecimal values as per Tab. 92, page 266.
