The data is saved in an ASCII text format and can be viewed using the 

Data Viewing Software

 

provided by Adaptive Micro Systems, or you can create your own reports and graphs with the raw data 

and your own programs like Microsoft Excel®.

 

ƒ

A 128MG SD card can save over 6,000,000 vehicle entries. Note the more vehicles on your card, the 

longer the reports will take to generate. 

2. 

 IN-DEPTH SETUP GUIDE AND SETTING COMMANDS - DATA RECORDING UNIT 

Use the + and - buttons to navigate through the Settings Menu. To select the displayed options, press the 

Enter button.

The Settings Menu allows you to:

 

1. 

Set Distance

 - Set the distance at which the radar is picking up vehicles. The distance units automatically 

align with the speed units being used by the radar (e.g. miles if MPH and kilometers is KPH).

2. 

Your File Name

 - This is helpful if you decide to move the trailer to a 

different location on the same day. Each file can list, for example, the 

street name so when you are ready to run the reports, you can easily 

identify each location. If you have multiple trailers/signs, each unit can 

have a unique name or number. 
a. 

Make Your File Name

 - The file name is (8) characters long and can 

be any combination of letters, numbers, and spaces. The default file 

name is in “MMDDYY.RU2” format. If the first file is not deleted and 

the card is used again 

on the same date

, the next file will read “MMDDYY-1.RU2”. It will automatically 

rename the files up to “MMDDYY-9.RU2”. When 10 such automatically renamed files are already 

present, you will get an error message. 

 

To input a new file name, press the “Enter” key at the 

Your File Name

 screen. Use the + and – keys to 

select the characters and press “Enter”. The cursor will move to the next space. Once all (8) characters 

are entered, the screen will read “Custom File Name Successfully Set”, then the screen goes back to the 

Return to Main Menu - + Enter

 screen. Press “Enter” to return to the main screen.

b. 

Format SD Card

 - Erasing data on the SD card can be done while the data recorder is mounted inside 

the trailer enclosure. This feature is used to delete any existing files on the SD card. Press the Enter 

button to use this feature. The display will read “Insert card (– to cancel)”. To erase the card, insert the 

card into the memory slot located on the right side of the data recorder. When it’s finished, the display 

will read “Format Done, Remove Card”. The SD card must now be removed to return to the menu 

features.

c.  The 

Radar Type

 and 

Radar Speed should only be changed if directed by an authorized 

technician.
