Using SignalTrack
HOLD LAST MEASURED BEARINGS
SignalTrack can process and display the measured bearings in two different ways. If the Hold Last
Measured Bearings for item is unchecked SignalTrack will base its estimated positions and display
bearings in a time synchronized fashion. This means that the position estimate is calculated using
bearings that were all measured over a given 0.5 second time interval and similarly the bearing lines
shown are for the identical 0.5 second interval. This setting is useful if you are attempting to locate
more than one rf emitter and one of your sites is not receiving one of the emitters.
If the Hold Last Measured Bearings for item is checked, the previous estimates will be time
synchronized; however, the most recent estimate will be based on the last bearing received at each
site. This setting is useful if you would like to hold the last measured bearing on the screen.
Typically this would be done if mobile sites were part of the network, or if for some reason a
communications delay caused one or more of the sites to receive bearing data. This setting is also
useful if the signal is weak at one site and the bearing readings are sporadic.
In most cases the checking Hold Last Measured Bearings for will give the best results. The time
value sets the amount of time the bearing will be displayed if no bearing updates are received.
The status bar at the bottom of the display will display the bearing measured at the fixed sites
connected to SignalTrack. If the site does not receive a bearing for one second the text will be
italicized.
Hold Average Position Estimate
The Hold Average Position Estimate for check box and time setting works similar to the Hold
Last Bearings for except the parameters apply to the average position estimate.
