H. Graph Display Controls: These pull down menus control which impact data is displayed on the Impact
Graph and how the data is presented. See Viewing Impacts, page 37-39 for further details.
I. System Communication and Impact Processing Status Messages: This field informs you of the current
status of the Sideline Controller and/or Access Point and once an impact has been downloaded, the status
of processing this impact.
J. Tab Controls: Click on these controls to view information about instrumented players, impact alarms or
hardware alerts.
1. Players: Under the Players tab is a list of all players who have been assigned MxEncoders. Once a
player’s MxEncoder has communicated with the system, the player’s identifier will no longer be
displayed in bold text. In addition a battery icon will appear next to the name. The icon indicates the
charge remaining in the player’s MxEncoder battery.
2. Alerts: Under this tab is a list of all of the impact alerts that have occurred during the current session.
3. HW Status: Under this tab is a list of hardware notifications for the current session.

Viewing Impacts In Real-Time
By default the HIT Analyzer will display impacts in real-time. This means that as soon as an impact is
downloaded and processed, information on the Impact Graph and the Impact Display is updated. The Impact
Graph will show a single curve which represents the resultant linear acceleration time series. The date and
time at which the impact occurred is displayed at the top of the graph. In addition, the Impact Display will
show the magnitudes of multiple head impact severity metrics along with an estimate of impact direction.
The direction estimate is represented by a yellow arrow next to the head form. The length of the arrow is
proportional to the magnitude of the impact. The head form can be rotated to get a better view of the arrow.
If an impact exceeds the alerting threshold you have set for the player, an alert will be added under the Alert
tab and an alert will be sent via the paging system. To view the specifics of an alert, click on the Alert tab
and then click on the alert of interest (see Figure 39 for an example). Information about the selected impact
will be shown on the Impact Graph, Impact Display and the Player Summary. In the Impact Display, the type
of impact measurement you selected for your alerting metric is shown in red. To switch to viewing impacts
in real-time when you are viewing a player’s impact history, change the Graph Display control from “History”
to “Live”.
