Chapter 1 — Introduction to the TRAX Apollyon
We're now ready to start our count.
Before we do so, notice the STAT
option on this screen. The STAT
option lets you review how you
have set up the count.
Now, to start our count, press DO
with
Start flashing. The Apollyon immediately goes into data recording
mode and the count has begun.
Once the count has begun, the first of four status screens is displayed. The
top line of this screen tells us what layout we have selected and the data
format we are using. The middle two lines will show the hits that are being
received on the road tubes. Whenever a vehicle's axle hits one of the road
tubes, you should see an asterisk appear on that tube's row. The bottom line
shows what number count this is in the Apollyon's memory, the percentage
of memory available, and the battery voltage.
Press the TAB key and the second status screen will appear. This screen
provides a more detailed description of the layout we are using, along
with the default dead time value (DT) set in the Apollyon. (Dead Time is
explained in detail in chapter 2 – in most cases a value from 25 - 40 mil-
liseconds will work fine.)
