Collecting and Analyzing In-Radar Traffic Statistics
The PNL10 supports optional “In-Radar” advanced traffic statistics collection. This
feature is sold separately. If this feature is enabled you may collect the stored statistics by
using the provided Houston Radar Advanced Statistics Analyzer Windows program.
This program must be installed on a MS Windows 7, Windows 2000, XP or Vista PC (32
bit and 64 bit versions) and allows the retrieval of stored statistics from the radar by using
a PC serial port. It also has features to generate traffic reports, plot interactive graphs and
export the raw data to a MS Excel file.
Please refer to the on line help functionality of the program after you install it on your
computer for detailed instructions on how to use its functionality.
Real Time Traffic Statistics In the Radar:
The PNL10 In-Radar stats software now features “real time” histogram statistics. These
are updated as soon as a vehicle is detected and may be read out as a speed bin count
“histogram”. Thus no historical records need be read out and parsed to read statistics.
This feature requires a host program to be on-line to read the live statistics. Please contact
Houston Radar for more information if you are interested in acquiring live statistics from
the radar.
Internal Clock:
The PNL10 has a built in clock/calendar function. This is used to keep the time to
date/time stamp the historical archive records saved by the
Advanced In-Radar traffic
statistics
collection feature that is available as an option in the radar.
The PNL10 does not feature a clock backup battery. So power must
remain connected to the radar for the clock to keep time. However an
external clock battery may be connected to keep time while PNL10 goes
into low power sleep mode. See Appendix D for more details
