Scan Time:
The amount of time to hold on a frequency and attempt to detect transmitters. The
Scan time will override the Time Out time, if a pulse has been detected during the
Time Out period. The Scan Time is set to whatever you need this set at (Range =
001 – 300 seconds). Refer to section
15.0
for information on setting the Scan
Time value.
A:
If Continual (1) was selected in screen 1 this will read
Store Rate
If Periodic (2) was selected in screen 1 this will read
Log Period
Store Rate:
This defines how often a transmitter’s detection will be stored for
each antenna (Range = 0000 – 1440 minutes). For example if the
Store Rate is set to 10 minutes and a scan time of 15 seconds, its
presence will only be recorded once during that 10 minute period.
The data stored will include the time stamp of the strongest signal
strength measured in one 15 second scan time during the 10
minute scan period. Stored with it will be a total number of pulses
that the receiver determined to be pulse rates during the 10 minute
store period along with the total number of pulses detected during
the Store Period.
Log Period:
This defines the time interval between the receiver cycles where
the R4500S performs one scan of the frequency table. If the scan
of the frequency table takes the entire log period, the receiver will
never pause between the end of a frequency table scan, and the
start of the next one. (Range = 0000 – 1440 minutes)
Screen
5
Tables(1-12):
The frequency tables you want to scan. There are twelve tables available.
Screen 6
Antenna # :
The number of antennas the receiver will sample. This feature requires an
external antenna switchbox connected to the AUX port of the R4500S if using
more than 1 antenna. If using a 2-way switchbox, this would be set to 2.
EXT Data XFER:
When this is enabled the receiver will dump the logged data out a serial port once
an hour. To change this option’s settings use the “Ext Data” choice in the “Setup
Menu”.
