INTRODUCTION

The CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder provides precise time-stamped event reporting for 32 channels to enable root-cause analysis and advanced system diagnostics.
Confi gurable event recording: Each input is individually confi gurable with digital fi lter, debounce and contact chatter functions to ensure reliable operation.
Event log: The CyTime SER records the date and time associated with all state changes to one (1) millisecond and stores up to 8192 events in non-volatile memory.
Each event record contains the date/time stamp, event type, channel number and state, time quality, and unique sequence number.
Export events to Comma Separated Variable (CSV): An export button allows the user to save event data to a CSV fi le for further analysis in Excel® or other software.
EPSS data log groups: Inputs can be assigned to a group for data logging purposes.
If any input in a group changes state, then the states of all group members are recorded in its EPSS data log. This enables specialized reporting for mandatory tests of emergency power supply systems (EPSS) to document compliance with standards for healthcare and other critical-power facilities.
Operations counters: Operations counters are maintained for all 32 channels (inputs), with date/time of last reset. Each channel can be reset individually.
Ethernet communications: Network data communications to a host system are supported via 10/100BaseTx Ethernet using Modbus TCP and/or RESTful web service.
The device also features an embedded secure web server to simplify setup, operation, firmware updates and file transfers. In addition, PTP (Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1588) or NTP (Network Time Protocol) can be used for time synchronization over Ethernet.

Product Overview
Note: This instruction bulletin describes product features and behaviors for the latest firmware version available at the time of publication. Cyber Sciences recommends updating to the latest firmware whenever feasible, available for free download: www.cyber-sciences.com/downloadsCYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of
Events Recorder - INTRODUCTION Status monitoring examples:

  • Breaker status: open/closed/tripped
  • Breaker control switch: open/close commands
  • Relay trip signal: normal/trip
  • Auto-transfer switch (ATS) status: normal/emergency/test
  • Control scheme status: auto/manual/test
  • UPS status: normal/bypass
  • Generator status: stopped/running
  • Battery status: normal/alarm

Time synchronization (PTP). High-resolution time sync (100 µs) is supported using PTP (Precision Time Protocol, per IEEE 1588) over the Ethernet network used for data communications. (Timestamps ± 0.5 ms.) The SER-32e can be confi gured as the PTP master (grandmaster clock for all other SERs and PTP- compatible devices) or a PTP slave, synchronized to a PTP grandmaster (another SER or third-party clock).
Time synchronization (other protocols). Hi-res time sync (100 µs) using legacy protocols such as ‘IRIG-B (unmodulated) or DCF77’ is also supported. (Timestamps ± 0.5 ms.) NTP or Modbus TCP time-sync are supported, but accuracy depends on network design and is typically ± 100 ms or more.
Time-sync master. One SER can serve as a time-sync master to other devices via PTP or an RS-485 subnet. RS-485 serial protocol is either IRIG-B or DCF77 (per the input time source) or ASCII (selectable). When PTP or NTP is the time source, an SER can output IRIG-B, DCF77 or 1per10 using an optional interface (PLX-5V or PLX-24V ).
Trigger output. Any input can be confi gured to close a high-speed output contact to trigger an associated action, such as a power meter’s capture of voltage and current waveforms coincident with an event. The trigger occurs in the same millisecond interval during which the event is detected, with no filtering applied.
Multiple Modbus masters. The SER supports data access from multiple Modbus TCP masters (up to 44 simultaneous Modbus connections). This enables integration of multiple systems and fl exibility in how application software manages sockets.
Settings stored in non-volatile memory. All settings are stored in non- volatile fl ash memory in XML fi le format. Confi guration is accomplished using a standard web browser, or by modifying the setup fi le directly (by advanced users).

INSTALLATION

Dimensions
The dimensions for the CyTime SER-32e Event Recorder are illustrated below. CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder -
INSTALLATIONMounting Considerations

The CyTime Event Recorder is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail in the orientation shown below. When choosing a mounting location, consider the following:

  • Allow for easy access.
  • Allow space for all wires to be neatly routed away from the device.
  • Allow sufficient ventilation to stay within the operating temperature limits of the device (see section 7—Specifications).

Typical locations for mounting the SER include the following:

  • Power equipment cell or compartment.
  • Office or raised-floor environment.
  • Auxiliary control panel or cabinet.

DIN-rail Mounting

The SER-32e is mounted to a standard (35mm) DIN rail by engaging the bottom edge first, then rotated into place as shown below:

  1. Start by engaging the lower edge of both DIN-mounting brackets with the bottom of the DIN rail as shown.
  2. Then raise the device to compress the spring-loaded jaws in the bottom clips to allow clearance for the edge of the top clips.
  3. Rotate the top of the device to vertical…
  4. …and then lower the device into place onto the DIN rail.

To uninstall, simply reverse this process: raise the device (to compress the bottom springs) and then rotate the top outward.CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e
CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - INSTALLATION 1

WIRING

An overview of wiring connections for the CyTime SER-32e is shown below. Wiring connections include two (2) Ethernet network interface RJ-45 connectors (either Ethernet interface port can be used, but not at the same time), time source input, digital inputs, control power input, optional trigger output, and optional time-sync IN or OUT (via RS-485 and/or PLX-5V or PLX-24V ).
Removable plug-in, screw-terminal connectors are provided for connections at bottom. Optional adapters convert the DB-15 options connector to a screw- terminal connector to support input or output of legacy protocols, such as IRIG-B or DCF77.
32 digital inputs (numbered 1-32) are divided into four (4) groups of eight (8), each sharing a common return (marked “C”).

Wiring Connections for SER-32e
Note: With PTP or IRIG-B time source, the CyTime SER typically requires 30 seconds to lock onto the precision time reference (Time Quality = Good).
DCF77 may require up to 10 minutes.CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of

The SER-32e has 32 isolated digital inputs arranged in four (4) groups of eight (8), each sharing a common return, wired as shown.CYBER SCIENCES SER
32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Wiring 1 Control Power

The CyTime SER-32e requires a control power source with nominal voltage of 24 Vdc.
The control power connector has three terminals: 24 Vdc positive and common connections and a chassis ground connection (green-wire ground).CYBER
SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder -
Control Time Sync (PTP Master or Slave)

The CyTime SER-32e Event Recorder supports PTP (per IEEE 1588). User setup determines whether the device functions as a PTP master or PTP slave (or neither). The SER-32e offers several time-sync input and time-sync output options, as well as trigger output for waveform capture. PTP can be used in conjunction with these capabilities to form a flexible system that is compatible with third-party clocks and can “PTP-enable” meters and relays that currently support only legacy protocols.
In the example shown in Figure 3-6, one or more CyTime Event Recorders are configured as PTP slaves and sync automatically with a GPS clock (by others) which serves as PTP master (grandmaster).
PTP time sync is accomplished over the same Ethernet network used for data communications using a standard Ethernet cable (e.g. Cat 5e).
Alternatively, a CyTime SER-32e can be the PTP master. In the example shown in Figure 3-7, the first CyTime Event Recorder serves as PTP grandmaster; all other SERs sync automatically using PTP over the Ethernet network. The SER serving as grandmaster may use any convenient time source: IRIG-B, DCF77, NTP or even periodic updates from an EPMS server using Modbus TCP or RESTful API over Ethernet.CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder -
Control 1 Time Sync IN (IRIG-B or DCF77)
The CyTime SER accepts IRIG-B or DCF77 time reference via its DB-15 options connector at the top of the device. An optional wiring accessory (EZC-IRIG-B or EZCDCF77) facilitates wiring as shown in the fi gure below.CYBER SCIENCES
SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Control 2 Time Sync OUT (IRIG-B, DCF77 or 1per10)
When the time source is PTP or NTP, the CyTime SER can be confi gured to output a legacy protocol (IRIG-B, DCF77 or 1per10) via its DB-15 connector using a PLX, type PLXe-5V, PLX-5V or PLX-24V, as shown below. CYBER SCIENCES
SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Control 3 RS-485 Time Sync IN/OUT (Inter-SER or ASCII OUT)

The CyTime SER inter-device time-sync (RS-485) can be wired to one device or daisychained to multiple devices. This is also used to output ASCII/RS-485: an ASCII string originally defined by Arbiter Systems called “ASCII + QUAL” (9600 bps). This consists of an on-time mark (OTM) once per second followed by ASCII representation of the date/time and time-quality as follows:

ddd:hh:mm:ssQ where: soh = Hex 01 (start bit = OTM) and Q = time quality (space = locked, ? = unknown)![CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Control 4](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/03 /CYBER-SCIENCES-SER-32e-CyTime-Sequence-of-Events-Recorder-Control-4.jpg) **Trigger Output (to One or More Devices) ** The Trigger Output can be wired to a single device or in parallel to multiple devices as shown in the figure below. (Note: trigger output is available with all models.)![CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Trigger](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/CYBER- SCIENCES-SER-32e-CyTime-Sequence-of-Events-Recorder-Trigger.jpg)

SetupNote: Only one protocol can be selected for output via the PLX connector (IRIG-B, DCF77 or 1per10).
Note: The accuracy of NTP time sync depends on external factors; therefore, when the SER time source is NTP, the SER uses only two states for Time Quality as follows: Time Quality = “2:OK (NTP)” if locked to a server, or “3: Bad (no sync)” if no NTP server is found.

Groups Setup

Clicking “Groups” brings up the Groups setup web page:CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e
CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Groups SetupNote: To activate EPSS data logging, a group must be enabled, at least one group member defi ned (via Inputs Setup page) and suffi cient space (records) allocated.
Note: Click the “Auto-Allocate” check box to have the system calculate the optimal number of records (equal allocation across all enabled groups). To return to previously saved values, click “Cancel.”
Group assignments are used to establish an association among two or more inputs. For example, three inputs may be assigned to the group representing the normal, emergency and test states of an ATS. Enabling groups, assigning members, and allocating records causes the SER to log the status of all group members in a contiguous memory block accessible using Modbus TCP or RESTful API. This is used by some report modules, such as EPSS test reports, to confi rm regulatory compliance. If logging has begun and a group is disabled, data logging for this group is suspended. However, changes to any group’s members or allocated records causes all data logs to be cleared and restarted.

Alternate Setup: Editing XML File
Note: the XML setup fi le should only be modifi ed by advanced users who are familiar with XML syntax, since errors may cause the unit to malfunction.
Please refer to the CyTime SER Reference Guide (IB-SER-05) for additional details.
Setup data is stored in non-volatile memory in an XML fi le format. Setup changes can therefore be made simply by editing this fi le using a text editor, such as Windows® Notepad. Standard setup templates can be created and replicated quickly across multiple units.
The setup fi le can be accessed over a network via the device’s web interface through the Administration tab.
To preserve a backup copy of the setup fi le, go to the Setup / Administration page, download the “_SETUP.XML” to a local directory on a PC. To restore these settings, simply upload the fi le back to the device (overwrites existing _SETUP.XML file).
Clicking “HTTPS” brings up the HTTPS setup web page:CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e
CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Administration HTTPS The SER-32e uses HTTPS to enhance security for all web (port 443) communications.
HTTPS (HyperText Transport Protocol Secure) uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption to secure communications and protect data exchanges between a web browser and the SER’s web server. The SER ships with a self- signed SSL (Secure Socket Layer) certifi cate installed. This self-signed certifi cate will not be recognized as a trusted web server and the web browser will prompt you with a security warning. (Figure 5-11)
To continue to the SER’s web interface, click “Advanced” and “Proceed to IP_Address (unsafe)”. The SER provides administration tools for security certifi cates by supporting the ability to generate new self-signed certifi cates, upload a custom certifi cate and delete a custom certifi cate (SETUP > HTTPS). A trusted custom certifi cate, provided by your IT department, can be installed on the SER resulting in it being a trusted web server.

MONITORING (WEB SERVER)

Monitoring: Status

The CyTime SER-32e Event Recorder monitors the status of 32 high-speed input channels. Data is available via the Ethernet communications interface using Modbus TCP protocol, RESTful API or its embedded web server using a standard web browser.
To view status using a standard web browser, open the browser and type the IP address of the SER and press Enter. The unit’s home page is the “Monitoring” web page called “Status.” Sample channel status details are shown:CYBER
SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder -
MonitoringNote: The “Forced OFF” and “Forced ON” TEST functions refer to an override of the external monitored signals connected to each channel, and “forcing” these OFF or ON for reporting or logging by the SER. This simulation allows testing of host software without the need to physically open/close the connected equipment.
The Status page provides real-time status of all 32 channels, refreshed about once per second. The green “DATA” light flashes with each set of new data to confi rm ongoing connection with the SER. Default values for channel names and OFF/ON states are shown in the example above. In an actual application, user- confi gured labels can greatly enhance the readability of the information. For example, Input 01 could be labeled “Main breaker” and OFF/ON states labeled “Open/Closed.”
In addition to normal status reporting, the following are supported:
Inverted. Any input can be confi gured with inversion “enabled.” This inverts the state of a monitored input for reporting or logging purposes. For example, a normally-closed contact can be set to “inverted” and its status reported OFF when in normal mode.
Forced OFF or ON. The SER supports a simulation TEST mode (via the Control web page or via Modbus command register), and all channels are initialized to OFF.
Auto-test mode simulates closing all external contacts sequentially (“Forced ON”) and then back off again (“Forced OFF”). Manual-test mode starts with all channels Forced OFF, and the user can simulate the closing of each channel individually or in groups (“Forced ON”). If an input is also set to inverted, then its reported state will be opposite to the forced (simulated) condition.

Data Page (Counters)

Note: Counters are subject to fi lter, debounce and chatter functions used for event recording.
Therefore, counter values only increment when a corresponding status-change event is recorded for a given channel (input).
The Data page displays operations counters and the last reset date and time. If a channel is enabled for event recording, each status change (transition from Off -toOn or On-to-Off ) increments its counter value. Clicking “Data” under the monitoring tab brings up the following web page:CYBER SCIENCES SER
32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Data Page Resets Page

The Resets page allows reset of operations counters, either individually or all at once.
From the Control tab, clicking “Resets” brings up the following web page:CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Data
PageA Counter Reset event will be recorded in the Event Log with date and time.

Events Page
The SER records the date and time of all events, such as the change of state of an input channel. Event data is accessible via Modbus TCP, RESTful API, local display (or touchscreen display) or may be viewed by clicking the link for the “Events” web page:CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of
Events Recorder - Events PageThe SER stores up to 8192 events, after which only the latest 8192 events are stored.
Each event record contains:

  • date and time of the event (adjusted for local time, if applicable)
  • channel (input name)
  • event type
  • channel status
  • time quality at time of the event
  • sequence number (unique serial number, column hidden by default)

When the page is first accessed, the last 100 events are loaded and the 20 most recent are displayed, starting with the most recent event at the top.
Click any column heading to sort events. Click the “Load all events” check box to display all stored events.
By default, the page checks for new events in the background and automatically adds them to the display. To prevent automatic update, deselect the “Auto” check box. The page will still check for new events but they will not be shown until “Auto” is checked again. Any recent events added can be identified in the “Events” and “Date and Time” columns.
Finally an Export button allows the user to export (save) all displayed event data to a CSV file for further analysis in Microsoft Excel® or other software. Please see Cyber Sciences Tech Note TN-201 for more details on exporting SER data to CSV, as well as how to format the date/time cells in Excel for proper display with millisecond resolution.

Control: Test
Note: While operating in test mode, the SER suspends normal event recording. In addition, counters are not aff ected by test events.
The test function simulates status changes to facilitate testing of application software. Each status change is refl ected in Modbus TCP status registers and recorded as a test event in the event log. Test events are also recorded to mark the start and end of test mode.
Clicking the “Control” tab brings up the following web page:CYBER SCIENCES
SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events Recorder - Events Page
1Choose one of two test modes, then click the “Start Test” button to begin:

  • Auto— Sets channels to ON and then back to OFF, automatically.
  • Manual— Forces channel status to user selections.

Auto test mode simulates automatic sequencing of inputs off -to-on and back to off in 1 millisecond intervals. Each status change is recorded as an event in the event log, along with events designating the start and end of test mode.
In Manual test mode, channels can be “forced” OFF or ON (overriding normal status). Click the desired check box(es) and then click the “Apply” button to simulate the selected states. Status registers (Modbus TCP) and test event records in the event log can be used to verify proper operation with application software. Finally, click the “End Test” button to return to normal operation. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the SER will revert automatically back to normal operation.CYBER SCIENCES SER 32e CyTime Sequence of Events

Power Control / Ride-through Module:
The SER-32e includes a Power Control module providing over 10 seconds of control power ride-through. The Power Control module is located in option slot 3 which is dedicated to this module.
Diagnostic status information is provided for the Power Control module through LED status indicators as well as the Diagnostics menus on the SER’s display and web interface. No maintenance is required for this module during the service life of the SER under typical installation conditions.
Real-time Clock Battery Status
The SER-32e is equipped with a real-time clock (RTC) with battery backup to maintain relative time in the event of a power loss. The backup battery is expected to remain viable for the life of the SER, but may need to be replaced under some service conditions. Status of the RTC backup battery can be observed through the LED status indicators on the Power Control module as well as the Diagnostics menus on the SER’s front panel display and web interface.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guar-antee your freedom to share and change free software–to make sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to dis-tribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/ or modify the library.
Also, for each distributor’s protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don’t assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.
The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility pro-gram or application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.
Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Li-brary General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the library.
Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library General Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Li-brary is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
    You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    • a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
    • b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
    • c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
    • d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose re mains meaningful.
    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application.
    Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)
    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribu-tion medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
    This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
    If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
    However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
    When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
    If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
    Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
    You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must sup-ply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
    • a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
    • b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
    • c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.
    • d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
    For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.
    However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
    It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is other-wise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
    • a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities.
    This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
    • b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
    If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
    It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made gener-ous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
    This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
    Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
    NO WARRANTY

  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
    THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

  16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUEN-TIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INAC-CURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
