Q: WHAT IS THE TOP 10 LIST?
The Top 10 List displays the highest impact magnitudes for all players for that day.
Q: CAN I EXPORT ALL IMPACTS RECORDED DURING A SESSION?
Yes. There is an additional software tool that can export out all head impacts for various ranges.
General
Q: WHAT IS THE COORDINATE SYSTEM THE SRS USES TO DEFINE IMPACT LOCATION?
The SRS uses a spherical coordinate system where azimuth is the angle around the circumference of the head
and elevation is the angle from the neck to the top of the head. 0° azimuth is the back of the head and 90°
azimuth is the right side of the head. 90° elevation is the top of the head. -90° elevation is up through the
neck.
Q: WHY IS THERE AN ARROW INDICATING AN IMPACT WENT UP THROUGH THE PLAYERS NECK WHEN REALLY
HE HIT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD?
Sometimes certain head impact data are such that the estimated impact location can look like it came through
the neck instead of the top of the head. This is an artifact of the impact location estimation processing the SRS
uses.
SRS BEST PRACTICES
The following is a list of Best Practices to be used as a guide to ensure that your Sideline Response System
functions as well as it can throughout the upcoming season. This list was created from past SRS user
comments, our experience with troubleshooting problems, and a detailed evaluation of data quality during the
off-season. This list outlines key areas where small attention to details can significantly improve the overall
system performance.
1. Due to improved diagnostic techniques and the implementation of a processing threshold, daily
synchronization of the SRS is recommended. The system MUST be synchronized at least once a week
during the season.
2. A diagnostic check of HIT System functionality is recommended during the weekly changing of
batteries.
SRS Synchronization
Frequent synchronization of your local SRS database (located on your SRS laptop) with the SRS data server
helps ensure quality data collection throughout the season. If an Internet connection is available, the HIT
Analyzer program will automatically try to synchronize to the SRS Data Server when it starts and when it is
closed down.
The synchronization process provides key services:
1. Preservation and Back-Up of Information: All incoming impact data is stored within a local database
on your SRS laptop computer. In the event of damage to your local computer that information may be
