SmarTek Systems (www.smarteksys.com) 22
Communication Truck Roll Over T-Box – Opens the communication/parameter setup
window for the Truck Roll Over application using the SAS-1. This is a special
application using the SAS-1.
Sensor Menu
Get SAS ID – Retrieves the SAS ID for the connected SAS-1.
Get SAS Parameters - Retrieves current SAS-1 parameter settings and displays them in
appropriate SAS Monitor and Setup parameter fields.
Get SAS Date and Time - Gets the Date and Time from the SAS-1 and displays it in the
status line at the bottom left of the SAS Monitor Display.
Get SAS Archive Data - Retrieves the SAS archive and stores it in the \Arch_Data\ sub-
folder under the application folder.
Write SAS Parameters- Instructs the SAS-1 unit to save its current parameters to
nonvolatile memory.
Show SAS Spectrum Show – Opens a spectrum display to show real time signal
spectrum for each of the eight SAS-1 microphone strips.
Show SAS Lane Power vs Time – Opens an acoustic power vs time display for each
SAS detection zone.
Set SAS Default Operating Mode - Opens a dialog window for setting the SAS-1
default operating mode.
Set SAS Date and Time - Sets the SAS-1’s real time clock to the Date and Time of the
PC running SAS Monitor and Setup.
Send Header Records to SAS - Sends New Archive Header records to the SAS-1.
Send New Executable Code to SAS - Sends the SAS-1 new executable software.
Change SAS ID - Opens a dialog window for changing the SAS-1 unit’s ID.
Change SAS Baud Rate - Opens a dialog window for setting the SAS-1 unit
communication baud rate. Once this value is changed, the SAS Monitor and Setup
Comm Port baud rate must be changed to match. If the SAS-1 baud rate is set to 19.2 K
bps, the SAS-1 TAI data stream is decimated 2 to 1 to lower the data rate to better match
the lower baud rate. If the SAS-1 baud rate is set to 9600 bps or less, the SAS-1 TAI data
stream is decimated 4 to 1 to lower the data rate to better match the lower baud rate.
Reset SAS - Sends a command to the SAS-1 to execute a software reset. SAS responds
with a banner containing configuration information. This information is displayed in the
status line at the bottom left of the SAS Monitor Display (when the SAS Monitor Mode
is set to 2 or 3). The information includes the software revision number, presence or
absence of a battery backed real time clock, the presence and size of the flash memory
chip, and the archive update period.
Note that setting the SAS-1 Date and Time or sending an Archive Header to the
SAS-1 will reset the SAS-1 archive pointer. This will result in the loss of any archive
data that was previously logged.
After either of these actions or upon SAS-1 power
on or reset, data archiving begins after the next full data write period (4 captured
records).
