The VR2AR has two options for logging diagnostic information: Normal Diagnostics Mode and Fast
Diagnostics Mode.
1
Normal Diagnostics Mode (always active)
By default, diagnostic data are logged (recorded) once per hour in the VR2AR memory. Normal Diagnostics
Mode is always active and includes the following data:
•
Tilt (instantaneous sample)
•
Temperature (instantaneous sample)
•
Average noise (Average of 60 samples @ 1 sample/minute)
•
Depth (instantaneous sample)
•
Count of pings over previous hour
•
Count of detections over previous hour
Fast Diagnostics Mode (optional)
Diagnostic data are collected more frequently in Fast Diagnostics Mode. This mode is recommended for
range testing and system performance troubleshooting. It can be activated to optionally run in parallel with
Normal Diagnostics Mode for a period of 14 days.
In Fast Diagnostics Mode, diagnostic data are logged once per minute in the VR2AR memory. This mode
stays active for 14 days following activation. The following instantaneous samples are collected and logged
every minute:
•
Tilt
•
Termperature
•
Noise
•
Depth
To activate Fast Diagnostic Mode, follow the steps below.

This section describes VR2AR logging options for receivers using firmware version 5.0.1 or later and VUE version
2.6.0 or later. Earlier firmware and software versions will show different sensor logging options for the VR2AR.
Click the gear shaped icon in the VUE ribbon and select Logging Options to open
the

dialogue box.
STEP 1
Ambient noise in the area can be recorded
and viewed in VUE. This information may be
helpful in comparing deployment locations
and determining if noise may be affecting tag
detections.
