RSD Remote Sensor Diagnosis
RSD- Remote Sensor Diagnosis
Remote Sensor Diagnostics (RSD) Program This program is a very valuable sensor performance analysis tool that should be used only by factory-trained technicians, under management supervision. RSD allows access to the complete system via a communications link to the ASP™. The Remote Sensor Diagnostic (RSD) program communicates with the installed Receivers through the ASP. The communication link can be direct, by serial modem, by a network or even over the Internet. RSD is a very powerful program that can remotely adjust and reconfigure receivers, as well as govern the download of new software and hardware configurations. Typical functions that RSD will assist in are:
- Diagnosis and repair of software problems.
- Adjustment of sensor operating parameters can be made via land line or the Internet.
- Remote downloading of software
- Re-configuration of hardware via the Internet through use of the Advanced Stroke Processor
- Review the GPS satellite configurations and sensitivities
- Allow changes to the PLS system configuration such as baud rate
- Change the PLS threshold and sensitivity levels
- Download hardware configuration changes
- Download updated software
- Examine the power supply voltages
- Read the PLS sensor operating temperature
- Permit self-test of the sensor with preinstalled lightning waveforms.
- Monitor the oscillator accuracy
- Write to Flash memory
An authorized user can access ASP™ through RSD and communicate directly with any of the active sensors. It can download new software & firmware, monitor oscillator frequency, power supply levels, read the temperature in the sensor unit, as well as scores of sensitive receiver parameters.
