CHAPTER 4 DATA PAGE

rently registered in and communicating with DataView. This window displays a list with

five columns of information:

˽

Collector – Displays the Collector instance currently collecting data from this sensor.

˽

Address – Gives the IP address/host name, port number, and multidrop ID for the

sensor.

˽

Description/Location – Gives the optional location/description strings describing the

sensor.

˽

Network – Gives the current network assignment(s), if any, for this sensor.

˽

Custom – Gives the current custom ID registered in the Collector service for this sen-

sor.

˽

Lanes – Contains a list of checkboxes for each lane covered by this sensor, along with

the lane ID and direction.

The sensor list can be sorted by clicking on column headings. Click again to sort in the op-

posite direction. The filter menus and Search field can also be used to find and display sen-

sors that meet different criteria, such as collector instance, network, and whether the sensor

has already been assigned to a station.

To add mappings, select one or more lanes using the checkboxes in the Lanes column.

Push OK when finished to close the window and save the selections. Lanes can be added

or removed by opening the Select Sensors window again and adjusting the selected lanes.

To select sensor mappings by approach instead of lane, select Approach from the Select

Sensor Lanes By field above the grid. Each approach for each sensor will now be displayed

in the last column and can be selected using the checkboxes. Checking one or more ap-

proach for a sensor will add all lanes within that approach to the station mapping. (Access

the Collector Web interface to check which lanes are included within an approach if you

are unsure.)

Alternately, selecting Sensor (all lanes) from the selection field will display one checkbox

per sensor in the right column instead of listing lanes or approaches. Checking this box will

add all lanes from that sensor to the mapping.

There is no restriction as to how lanes can be mapped to stations in DataView. More than

one complete sensor, only certain lanes of one sensor, or a combination can be mapped to a

station in DataView. Once a station has at least one lane mapped to it, importing data from

Collector will look for data from those lanes and assign it to that station within DataView.

More than one station can receive mappings for the same set of sensors or lanes—in this

case all of those stations will receive the same data when imported.
