6.3. Table of distances
Table of distances shows the measured distance between all beacons. The map and
its graphical visualization depend on distances, which is a very important part of the
system.
There are two ways of measuring:
-
Measuring by ultrasound (automatic)
-
Measuring by user (manual)
Measuring by ultrasound is impossible for Mini-RX and Industrial-RX beacons
In noisy cases and cases with long distances it is better to use manual input
Measuring by ultrasound:
-
In most cases, the system builds the table of distances automatically. If everything is good, there
would be figures in cells, they would be changing a little; the color of each cell would be white
-
If color differs
, check the colors’ definitions (next page) and solve the problem
-
Freeze the map only if cells are white
Measuring by user (necessary for Mini-RX beacons and noisy cases):
-
Use manual input if table of distances didn’t build. It may happen if environment is very noisy, or
distances are very huge
-
In that case, cells’ color would be green
-
Be careful with figures because a small mistake in the values will cause mistakes in location
How to freeze/enter distance manually:
6.3.2.1. Open the Dashboard. You will see the table of distances
6.3.2.2. Use right mouse click on cell you want to freeze/enter. Additional menu
will open. There you can control the table of distances. Choose
Freeze
