Page 49: File Formats
6.2 File Formats 6.2.1 Server Settings Server settings are stored in a file named “Settings.xml” on each FireSync Station and can be accessed or modified using the FireSync Host Protocol Read File and Write File commands. The following example illustrates the format of the "Settings.xml" file: <?xml version="1.0"... - Page 50 <SerialNumber>1166</SerialNumber> <Enabled>1</Enabled> </Sensor> </Members> </SensorGroup> The example above specifies the settings for a system with three sensors. System-level settings include the following entries: Setting Description Name Must be "System". EncoderResolution The number of encoder counts per revolution, assuming x4 decoding. NullRange Specifies the special value used to indicate that a range point is invalid or unavailable.
- Page 51 revolution. Typically, this value should be selected such that the number of profiles generated per second does not significantly exceed the frequency of the sensors. PointSamplingStyle The sensors naturally produce one (x,y) range point per camera column. Detection Mode emits only the x-coordinates.
-
Page 52: Modes And Messages
6.3 Modes and Messages The system can operate in different modes, each of which has a specialized purpose. The Client should use the FireSync Host Protocol Set Operation Mode command to set the current mode before sending the Start command. As the system runs, data will be transmitted in a platform-independent binary format. -
Page 53: Free Mode
6.3.2 Free Mode In Free Mode, profile data is transmitted without any attempt to resample data to an even field-of-view increment or even rotational increment. The capture rate is governed by the sensor mode (typically 2 kHz or 4 kHz). Range coordinates be can transmitted with either 1 (x) or two 2 (x,y) channels of data. -
Page 54: Detection Mode
6.3.3 Detection Mode In Detection Mode, the Server monitors incoming sensor data and collects a complete revolution of profile data from each sensor. The data is sampled according to the parameters specified in the XML settings. Note that the first profile array in the output is always aligned to the encoder index mark. -
Page 55: Calibration Mode
6.3.5 Calibration Mode In Calibration Mode, the Server records a sequence of profiles from each camera in each sensor, and generates compensation values where necessary. Calibration Mode should be engaged while a rotating tire or similar target is in view of the sensors. This can help maintain the quality of data over time by reducing error introduced by minute mechanical changes in the sensors. -
