Make a connection
SSMHD allows for three connection types: serial, Internet, and virtual (for
testing and demonstration). You’ll most commonly make a serial connection.
To do this:
1 Make a physical or wireless connection to the sensor. This will likely
involve making a wired or wireless connection to a Click device that has
a communication connection with the sensor—for instance, to a device
that is on the same T-bus as the Click 200 surge protector the sensor is
connected to.
2 Launch SSMHD and click the serial button on the Connect section
of the main menu.
3 Change any necessary settings, such as port or speed.
4 Click Connect.
1 Select Lanes from the main menu, then Configuration.
2 Click on the magnifying glass icon and then click Show Alignment. Adjust
the sensor according to the arrow and the colors shown on the detected
vehicles. Green means the sensor is positioned for optimal performance;
yellow or red means the sensor is NOT correctly aligned with the roadway.
3 Once the sensor is properly aligned, tighten the strap screws the rest of the
way.
For the sensor alignment tool to function properly, traffic must be flowing
freely. After each adjustment of the sensor, several vehicles must pass before the
alignment tool’s output is valid. Also, if the sensor is not already aligned close to
perpendicular to traffic, this tool will display a question mark, indicating that the
sensor is too far out of alignment for the tool to function properly.
