to quickly change transmission direction. e default value is 10 milliseconds. is
value can be selected for both of the sensor’s ports independently.
Note
In many cases, SSMM will be connected over port 1. A green arrow is used to show
the port over which SSMM is connected to the sensor. During troubleshooting or
other special cases, you may want to connect to the sensor over port 2. Port 2 is
connected to the orange RS-485 wire pair and is typically used for detection calls.
Data Push – Data can be pushed over port 1, port 2 or both. To disable data push,
select None. In many cases, data push will only occur over port 2.
If you would like to change which port is used to push data, please contact Wavetronix
Technical Services rst, as changing this setting can aect how the sensor, and other
devices connected to it, are wired.
Note
If for some reason SSMM connects over the same port that SmartSensor Matrix
is using to push data, the software will continue to poll the sensor for detection
call messages. This will help keep the intersection operating normally during the
configuration process.
Source – In normal use, the source is always the radar antenna. However, in some
cases, other sources may be used for demonstrations or evaluations. When the source
is switched to Diagnostic, the antenna is no longer used. Instead, a predetermined
sequence of trac will appear.
Sensor Info Screen
Some of the Sensor Settings information can be viewed on the Sensor Info screen. After
searching for sensors, select a sensor from the list and either click on the sensor icon in the
upper right corner of the Communication screen or click again on the sensor row and the
Sensor Info screen will appear (see Figure 6.3).
