Note
After you sync the time on the sensor to the time on your PC, interval times on the
sensor may be off by a few seconds. Collector will then automatically change the
interval time back to the normal time. For example, if Collector is expecting a time
of 08:10:30 and it receives a time of 08:10:38, Collector will change the time back to
08:10:30.

Custom Fields
˽ Auto Detect GIS Settings – Turns on parsing for the Location field. Collector will at-
tempt to get the latitude, longitude and route name from the sensor’s location value and
automatically load it into the appropriate fields. The Auto Detect will run every time
the configuration is updated (usually every six hours).
˽ Comm Type – Allows you to choose Network, Serial or Serial Modem as the com-
munication type.
˽ Receive Delay – Allows you to control how many milliseconds Collector waits for re-
sponses to commands. This is to adjust for various network types and devices. Delaying
avoids unnecessary errors/error statuses.
˽ Buffer-safe Collection – An option for dealing with limited capacity network devices.
Some devices can’t handle as much data as Collector normally sends/receives, as fast as
Collector sends/receives it. This causes the sensor to send its data in smaller chunks, so
that its on-board memory does not overflow.
˽ Diagnostic Logging – Allows you to debug or detect problems with a driver. Collector
will create a text log of commands sent, timing of events and response data from sen-
sors. Contact Wavetronix Technical Services before using this option.
