Indicates the current position of the tracked signal. The Step Interval setting determines the speed of each step through the path. Click on a track point on the map to change and set the current interferer location. The tracking point list corresponds to the changed tracking point that is set.
Simulator Monitors and Emitter Tracking.
Features of the map control include:
• Zoom and pan control with the mouse.
• Zoom control with the slider in the lower right-hand corner of the map.
• Right-click the map to view the context menu.
• Move the mouse around and view the latitude and longitude coordinates are displayed at the bottom edge of the map.
The simulator monitors and emitters displayed on the GUI map provide a visual tracking of the signal source emitters and monitors. Red markers are simulator monitor positions. Yellow markers are RF emitters. A Interferer Configuration in the middle of a marker represents the current active emitter as described above.
Emitter Position and Control
Activate an emitter on the map by either clicking it’s marker on the map, or by clicking the marker coordinates that are listed on the right side of the screen. Each time a different emitter is selected, the markers are redrawn to indicate which one is active.
Add or Remove an Emitter
Add an emitter to the list by double-clicking on the map. Remove an emitter from the list by clicking the emitter in the list and click the ‘Delete’ key. You cannot reposition an emitter, except to delete and add a new one in the desired location.
Sorting the Displayed Emitters
You can change the order of the emitters in the list. Click one and press the keypad Ctrl-Up or Ctrl-Down. This moves the selected item up or down in the list. Click Sort Tracks to resort the entire list so that each emitter follows the one closest to it.
When sorting, the first emitter does not change positions. The closest to the first geographically is moved to the second position, the next closest to the second item is then moved to the third position and so forth. This makes it possible to add and delete emitters along a desired path and then order them at any time.
Saving a List of Emitters
Once you have created a list of emitters, you will want to save the list to a file. This is done with the ‘Save’ button in the toolbar. The saved list can be reloaded using the ‘Load’ button.
When saving, the entire configuration is saved, including the list of simulated monitors with their sweep configuration, GPS coordinates, the interferer location and power, and other program settings. All parameter settings in the panel on the left side of the program window is saved and reloaded.
