Digital inputs screenThe digital sensor information for each is displayed on a separate screen. See Illustration 5. See Table 2 for an explanation of related parameters for the digital sensor.
Table 2
Configuration and Status Information for the Digital Sensor    
Digital Sensor    Description    
Digital Sensor Input #1-2-3-4 Type Configuration     Configuration Type parameter defines whether a sensor is attached. If attached, the state of the switch contacts under normal operating conditions (Normally Open or Normally Closed).    
Digital Sensor Input #1-2-3-4 Monitoring Condition     Defines the monitoring condition for the digital input. If the digital input is in the alarm state (opposite the normal state), an event is recorded and sent to the VisionLink application. Alarm state is as specified in digital sensor input type configuration. delay time is specified in digital sensor input delay time, while the digital input monitoring condition is true.    
Digital Sensor Input #1-2-3-4 Description     The digital sensor input description parameter is a 24 character field used to describe what the sensor is monitoring. This value is used in the office software to display the sensor status.    
Digital Sensor Input #1-2-3-4 Delay Time     Defines the delay time before an alarm condition is recorded. If the digital input is in the alarm state (opposite the normal state), an event is recorded and sent to the VisionLink application. Alarm state is as specified in digital sensor input type configuration. Delay time is specified in digital sensor input delay time, while the digital input monitoring condition is true. Set this time correctly so spurious alarms are not set or alarms are missed.    "GPS Information" Status

GPS information screenThe "GPS Information" screen shows the status of the GPS. See Illustration 6. See Table 3 for an explanation of the GPS-related parameters.
Table 3
GPS Information Parameters    
Status     Description    
PC Current Date/Time     The current Date and Time of the host PC is displayed.    
GPS Position Status     Valid: The Product Link Module has previously calculated a valid fix.
Invalid: The Product Link Module has not calculated a previous fix.    
GPS Time Stamp     The time stamp from the last fix is displayed. The time can be compared to the Current Date/Time to verify that the time since the last position was calculated.    
GPS Latitude     The last valid GPS Latitude is displayed.    
GPS Longitude     The last valid GPS Longitude is displayed.    
Number of GPS Satellites     The number of GPS satellites currently in use by the GPS receiver. (1)    
( 1 ) Three or more satellites are needed to get an updated position fix."Cellular Information" Status
