If you request messages with data, the table of messages will contain
information about the message time, speed, coordinates, location, and
available parameters. In addition, in the Statistics section
you can find summary information. There you will see the number of
messages found upon request, the time from the first to the last
message, the distance traveled, the average and the maximum speed. The
mileage in messages in some cases may differ from the mileage in the
reports (if there are invalid data on the interval). In such cases, the
mileage in the reports should be considered more accurate.
There are two ways to display the parameters:
The table of messages has the following columns:
Time — the date and time when the message was received.
Speed — the speed of movement of the unit according to the message.
Coordinates — the latitude and longitude of the position of the unit and the number of the locked satellites (indicated in parentheses).
Altitude — sea level elevation. If only zeros are shown, it means the device does not transmit altitude.
Location — the address of the unit when sending the message.
Parameters (if available) — the values of the parametres of all available sensors. The messages can be
filtered by parameters. Instead of one column with parameters, columns with sensors can be displayed (if
sensors values is selected).
Media — if there is an image or video sent by the unit, in this column you can find the button for viewing the media file. Click Save as in the lower left corner of the image file viewer to save it.
Delete — checkboxes to
delete messages this button is displayed only if the user possesses the corresponding rights).
Red rows in the table mean alarm messages registered by the system.
Statistics
Statistics section provides the general information about the request:
Total messages — the number of messages for the whole period;
Total time — the interval between the first and the last message of the selected period;
Distance — the
distance traveled by the unit within the indicated time interval.
Mileage in messages in most cases differs from mileage in reports (if
there are invalid messages within the interval). In such cases, more
accurate information is provided in reports;
Average speed — the average of all speed values registered during the period;
Maximum speed — the maximum speed registered.
Using the Map
The
track for the selected period is displayed on the map. It is generated
together with the table. Select the message and click on it. The message
will be highlighted in gray, the map will be centered on this point and
a blue marker will be set there.
By default, the track is blue, but you can adjust the settings to color
the track in accordance with the speed or sensor value. This can be set
in the unit properties dialog on the Advanced tab.
When you hover the mouse cursor over the track, the nearest message is
searched. If such a message is found within a radius of 50 pixels, the
point of receiving the message is highlighted by a pulsating circle, and
detailed information is displayed in the pop-up window: the time the
message was received, the speed of the unit's movement at that point,
altitude, coordinates, number of satellites, readings of sensors.
Note. If after the
Messages panel you switch to other panels, the map
layout, as well as all the track lines are saved. To remove unnecessary
graphics, go back to the
Messages panel and press
Clear. More information on how to use the map while working with different panels can be found
here.
Charts
Besides the table view, some data can be presented in the graphical form. To switch between the modes, use and buttons, correspondingly.
Go to the graphical mode to view the graphs of the parameters contained in the messages. The Chart Legend panel opens in the work area to the left. Here, select the parametres
you want to be displayed. You can check several parameters
simultaneously — in such a case the graph contains more than one curve.
For convenience, these curves are highlighted in different colors.
In the place of the table with messages, a graph appears, which can be
scaled with the mouse. To do this, select the required fragment by
holding the left mouse button. Hover over the key points on the graph to
view their values.
