cancel your changes, click Cancel and Refresh. Clicking Refresh button will restore

the current interval length.

2 Synchronize the sensor time to your computer’s UTC time. This will ensure that inter-

vals will begin and end at the expected time. Intervals are timestamped at the end of

the interval. To synchronize the sensor time, click the Synchronize icon, which shows

two overlapping clocks.

The other two icons near the bottom of the page are for logging data:

Turn Interval Data Logging On/Off – Turns event logging on and off. Click on the icon

(it shows a clock and light switch) to toggle the switch on and off. Once you’ve turned

it on, you will be prompted to create a new log file if there is not already an existing

one. Now all of the data shown on the screen will be written to a standard text file that

can be viewed at any time.

View Interval Data Log – Opens the log file in a text editor such as Notepad (see Fig-

ure 6.12). The icon shows a clock and paper.

Figure 6.12 – Interval Data Log

The interval data in the Interval Data Screen is displayed in a table that contains the lane

name, volume, speed, occupancy, and class. The lane at the top of the table is the lane closest to

the sensor. At the bottom of the screen is a status bar that indicates the time the interval data

table was last updated. It also displays the amount of time that has elapsed since this update.

Lane Name – Displays the string of eight alphanumeric characters that describes the

lane.

Volume – Shows the number of events during the interval.

Interval Lane Speed – Represents the average speed of the lane during the time of the

interval. The speed is displayed either in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour

(kph), depending on your settings.

Occupancy – Displays the percentage of time vehicles occupied the sensor’s detection

zone during the selected interval.

Class – Represents the percentage of vehicles detected as fitting in one of three length-

based classification groupings (Small, Medium, and Large).
