Starting with version 2.03 of the Escort software the 5 different location algorithms can individually limit how
close other receivers have to be to the receive level of the receiver hearing the alarm the best, before they will
be included in the alarm. Classic (original Escort algorithm), linear, low pull, medium pull and strong pull each
have a separate setting. By adjusting this setting you can control if distant receivers with low receive levels will
be considered in the alarm calculation.
Starting with version 2.03 of the Escort software you can add Virtual receivers in the transponder database. A
Virtual receiver is added at one of the 64 points allowed per transponder. However there is no physical
hardware used. The Virtual receiver is intended to compensate in cases where there is a receiver imbalance.
For example if a building with a dense population of receivers is adjacent to a fence with few receivers and an
alarm occurs between them; the alarm location may pull towards the building. The Virtual receiver references
to other physical receivers that must be on the same transponder. Only if both of the referenced receivers
receive an alarm transmission, then the Virtual receiver will be added to the alarm as if was a physical receiver
that heard the alarm at the average receive level of the 2 reference receivers. The Virtual receiver's location
and sensitivity may be adjusted the same as a physical receiver. After a Virtual receiver is added, verify the
surrounding areas to make sure they have not been adversely affected. In no event should a virtual receiver
be utilized as a cost savings measure to avoid the installation of an actual receiver.
