Virtual Odometer
The virtual odometer is used to calculate travelled distance in DB3 Plug&Play as
a separate I/O element. If Between Records is selected as Distance Mode, then
if DB3 Plug&Play detects movement, it starts counting distance using GNSS
signal: every second it checks current location and calculates the distance
between current and previous point. It keeps adding these intervals until it is
time to make a record, then DB3 Plug&Play records its location and adds
odometer value, which is equal to the sum of all distances, measured every
second. When a record is made, odometer resets to zero and distance
calculation starts all over again.
Continuous (from GPS) Distance Mode works same as Between Records, except
odometer is not reset to zero after each record. The odometer is only reset
after the current trip ends.
Continuous (from OBD) mode works similar to Continuous (from GPS),
however, travelled distance data is taken from OBD instead of GNSS signal.

Features
Using available features can greatly increase DB3 Plug&Play usability
options.
5.4.1 Scenarios
Seven scenarios
are available on DB3 Plug&Play device.
Green Driving, Over Speeding, Excessive Idling detection, Jamming
detection, Alarm, Crash detection, Unplug detection.
Green Driving Scenario
helps to prevent and inspect driver about harsh
driving. Scenario continuously monitors accelerating force, braking force
and cornering angles.
To save GPRS traffic Green Driving event will be generated (included in
records) only when DB3 Plug&Play measured values are higher than those
set in the configuration, without additional I/O settings.
