buttons  to  acknowledge  the  audio,  to  display  the  camera  image  in  a  larger 
window,  and  a  button  to  view  the  current  occupancy  in  the  Data  Viewer 

application.    The  vehicle  counters  are  grouped  into  inbound  and  outbound 
values.  The background readings may be displayed as individual panels or as a 

single average of all enabled panels. 

If the station is configured as an Echo, then an indicator at the top right of the 

screen  indicates  if  the  Echo  has  successfully  made  a  connection  to  the 
Supervisor station.  A list box next to the indicator allows the user to change 

between different Supervisor stations. 

If the camera is enabled, then either a live image is displayed in the image area or 

a static image will be displayed.  Live images are currently only supported using 
IQeye cameras and when the camera streaming option is enabled.  When the 

camera  streaming  option  is  not  available  or  disabled,  the  main  window  will 
update with a new camera image when a vehicle enters or exits the portal.  The 

camera image may be triggered when a vehicle enters or exits the RPM.  A user-
definable time can be set to allow the image to be triggered up to 9.9 seconds 

after the vehicle enters or exits the RPM.  If a camera is not enabled, then the 
image area displays an animated truck or train image that moves to the left or 

right to represent a vehicle in the RPM.  

Two indicators are used to represent the infrared sensors and are labeled “S1” 

and  “S2.”    The  infrared  sensors  are  used  to  detect when  a  vehicle  enters  the 
RPM and to calculate the speed.  The indicators will turn red when the infrared 

sensors are blocked by an object. 

The main screen displays the lane number, user-defined lane caption, and RPM 

status in the frame that borders the image area.  The following status message 
may be displayed: 

 

Connected

:  The Supervisor is connected to the RPM and 

communicating normally.   

 

Timeout

:  The Supervisor has received no data from the RPM in 

the last 10 seconds.  

 

Retrying

:  The Supervisor is attempting to reconnect to the RPM.   

 

Missing:

  The Supervisor was unable to reconnect to the RPM 

and will continue trying to connect every 10 seconds.   

 

Rebooting:

  The RPM is rebooting.
