˽ View Event Counter – Brings up a real-time volume counter lane by lane (see Figure
6.9). Each time a vehicle enters and leaves the radar detection zone, the volume for
the corresponding lane will increment accordingly. If counting needs to be paused for
any reason, click on the Pause button; click the Play button to resume counting. Any

and will begin a fresh count.
