4.c.6. Questions Asked With Sensor (Timestamp) Storage Mode
The following questions are for each lane you have enabled:
Enter the appropriate information for this lane, up to 15 characters. This info is
normally used to indicate lane direction.
Enter the sensor type for lane #n. Options are Axle-Only, Loop Only, or Axle-
Loop-Axle, Loop-Axle-Loop.
The screen will display “Tuning Loops” if loops are selected, and them Waiting For Any Sensor”. The system is not
collecting and storing data it is for the user to confirm lane setup and configuration. Once several sensors have been
activated and the data is satisfactory, press ENTER to continue.
4.c.7. Final Start Questions
You can choose between Now, Midnight or Date/Time options of starting. If you
choose Date/Time, the system will request entering a time and a month/day to
start.
You can choose between Never, 24 Hours, Date/Time. Never will continuously
run until manually shut down (or out of memory). 24 hours will simply run for 24
hours from the time of start, and if you select Date/Time the Phoenix II will
request a time and a month/day to stop.
The counter is now ready to start.
Once the ENTER key is pressed the system goes into sleep mode (the display will be blank), and has started collecting
data. If you press ENTER again, the system will wake up and you will be in the Not Collecting Data menu.
Note about selecting any start time other than now:
The counter will go ahead and put you in the Collecting Data Menu, even though you may have selected to start
collecting at midnight or at some future time and date. This condition is called the “Preset Active Mode”, since the
counter has been preset to start collecting at a future time. While in Preset Active Mode, no file is open nor is any data
being stored in memory. You can still monitor collection, however, to verify the sensor configuration is working.
Note about collecting Binned or Count Data:
These two modes use Record Intervals. The Phoenix II will NOT start collecting data until the beginning of the next
record time. For example: The record interval is 15 minutes, you tell the counter to start NOW when it is 10:53:00. The
counter will not start storing data into files until 11:00:00. While the counter is waiting for the start of a new interval, it is
also in Preset Active Mode (see above).
