7.2 Distance Tests

Distance tests are conducted to determine the accuracy of the Awarepoint system. A

Tag is placed on the map at a specified location and then the test is run. After the test,

results show the Tag’s position on the map as determined by its reports from the

Beacons it heard and their relative signal strength indicator (RSSI).

Select the Accuracy Tests -> Distance Tests link to display the Distance Tests

window.

Any Distance Tests that have already been created display in this window. Each

Distance Test displays:

• ID – A sequence number generated by System Manager to identify separate

tests

• Name – The name given to the test when it was created

• Floor – The floor ID as identified by System Manager

• Duration – The length, in milliseconds, of the Distance Test

• X,Y – The coordinates on the floor map as determined by System Manager

where the marker was placed

• PIDS – The Product ID numbers of all Tags that were part of the test
