8.5. SSM-Rail Tab 3 - Verify settings
The final step in the configuration process is to verify the operation of both radars – individually
and together with the railroad equipment (controller or relay logic). Tab 3 of the SSM-Rail
application provides real-time detection information along with moving icons that match the
vehicles being tracked by the radar.
Click tab 3 of the SSM-Rail application and then click each of the configured Channel Status
icons. Clicking these icons (only the ones that have zones associated with them) will cause
them to be illuminated with a red or green background, depending upon whether there is a
detected vehicle in any of the zones associated with that output channel. This will also cause
the zones to be highlighted in the detection footprint portion of the display in green.
