v-Path 1

Under >v-Path 1< and >v-Path 2< the parameters below are indicated:

•  Distance along
•  Path Length 
•  Signal Strength

The values shown in >Distance along< and >Path Length< can be used for sensor installation.
The >Signal Strength< is an additional information: the higher the percentage the better the 

signal.
