Telemetry window definitions

System Tab:

Collar

production number, production date, Printed Circuit Board
(PCB) type and collar ID

Time

collar time in UTC and the UTC correction, configured to the
collar

Firmware

information about the collar firmware: Bootloader and Firmware
information- Internal or service related information only

Internal Sensors

main voltage and the ambient temperature of the included
mortality sensor. The voltage is an important value to estimate
the battery power status of the collar

Data Memory (mb)

memory capacity of the non-volatile on-board storage

in

megabyte

Sensors Tab:

GPS

information about the GPS Mode (internal usage only), GPS Max
Fix Time in seconds, GPS Fix Count (number  of  fixes  collected
so far) and the GPS  skip  Count.  The  latter  meaning  to  put  only
selected fixes into the transmission data  (e.g.  every second  fix)
and leave the rest for USB data download only.

Mortality

shows mortality period (period without acceleration to trigger
mortality alert)

Hibernation

wake-up level defines the activity threshold when Hibernation
Mode is over (predefined values depending on the species)

Acceleration

3 modes to define the acceleration sensor: off(0), basic(1),
advanced(2).

Sample Count shows how many data are actually saved on
board. Sensor Range defines the accuracy of the acceleration
data

recording Sample Rate Select defines how many measurements
the sensor takes per second

Temperature

defines if temperature sensor is on / off

Communication Tab:

Radio

information about the Transmit Frequency, Receive Frequency
and Transmit Power of the collar
