CHAPTER 6 • LANE SETUP

View Event Counter – Brings up a real-time volume counter lane by lane (see Figure

6.9). Each time a vehicle enters and leaves the radar detection zone, the volume for

the corresponding lane will increment accordingly. If counting needs to be paused for

any reason, click on the Pause button; click the Play button to resume counting. Any

vehicles that were detected by the SmartSensor while the event counter was paused

will not be shown in Volume. Clicking the Reset button will clear the volume count

and will begin a fresh count.
