SignalTrack User's Guide

Each time the Insert key is depressed a new active site is created and the color of the site changes.

Select the sequence of colors using the dropdown comboboxes in the dialog. You can also change

the size of the displayed site. Also, the colors for the fixed site and beacon can be changed.

VIRTUAL SITE

Virtual sites are sites that can be added to the map and the position estimate manually. These sites

would allow mobiles or remote sites that have bearing information but no networking ability with the

network control site to relay the bearing information to the network control site and the operator

can enter it and display it on the map. To create a virtual site, right click anywhere on the map and

select Add Virtual Site from the popup menu. Type the bearing into the text box that pops up

beside the virtual site and press the enter key. To change the bearing value, right click on the virtual

site and select Set Bearing from the popup menu. To delete a virtual site, click on the site to

select it and then press the Delete key.

MOBILE SLAVE OPERATION

When operating as a slave the mobile sites' frequency is slaved to the Network Control Site. The

Network Control Site periodically polls the mobile site to set it to the network frequency and to

instruct it to send data collected since the last poll. Once polling is complete the Network Control

Site sends data to the mobile site to allowing the mobile site to display the location and bearings of

the fixed sites in the network. When the mobile site running in the slave mode a LED button is

displayed in the tool bar as shown below

The LED button has two functions.

It blinks whenever the Network Control Site polls the mobile site. You can use this fact to

determine if you are out of range of the Network Control Site. When you are within range and the

Network Control Site is operational the LED should blink at least once every 5 seconds.

When in the slave mode you can click on the LED button to allow the mobile operator to change the

frequency of the local receiver. When the button is pressed frequency control of the mobile site is

turned over to the mobile operator. The mobile operator can then request a change in the network

frequency by selecting Request Frequency Change from the Channels menu. If the Network

Control site operator accepts the change or the Network Control Site has allowed remote sites to

change the frequency (see "Networking Mobiles" on page 56) clicking on the LED button will

return the mobile site to the slave mode and the frequency will stay the same. If the Network

Control Site rejected the change, the frequency will change back to the previous network frequency.
