Using the Vision Simulator Control Program
The Vision Simulator Control program provides a single screen interface. A user selected map is loaded from the Simulator program and displays a geo map as shown in Figure: Simulator User Interface. This shows the location of the simulated monitors along with a series of locations that are used to simulate RF sources. These RF source locations can represent:
• Interference sources when working with Power of Arrival (PoA) or Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA).
