Vision™ MX280001A Software Help : PoA Locate (Option 401) : PoA Settings and Control Panel
 
PoA Settings and Control Panel
The Settings and Control Panel provides the user interface tools for signal monitoring. The tools from the panel include:
• PoA Settings & Control
• TDoA Settings and Control
• Source Tracking
• Target receiver Sweep Settings
The Power of Arrival (PoA) settings and control panel displays the menu selections shown in Figure: PoA Settings and Control. Power of Arrival and Control panel provides the means of loading the trace data and lets the user scroll through the traces on that screen. Note that the PoA settings and Control panel setup does not automatically synchronize with the time stamp of the current trace in Vision Monitor; therefore, the sophistication of PoA Settings and Control panel measurements provide the optimum search results.
PoA Settings and Control
The PoA Settings and Control selection tabs are described in Table: PoA Settings and Control Buttons.

Description
3-Monitors-PoA
Triangulate the interferer position when the signal of interest can be seen on three near by monitors. This is normal mode.
3 Monitors-AM
Triangulate the interferer position in AM-mode when the signal of interest can be seen on three near-by monitors.
1-Monitors-PoA
View signals at a single monitor, from the Monitor pull-down list above the top trace display. 1 Monitor detection is only useful if the interferer can be seen in the sweep data on two more channels on the same monitor. Save PoA mode to 1-monitor (Angle of Arrival).
Synchronize Traces in Time
Toggles time synchronization between the three monitors used in the location algorithm. Each trace graph has a horizontal scroll bar that allows the user to scroll through the trace history and look for a particular trace that exhibits the interference most strongly.
Restrict Search Area
Used Toggle Clipping mode: Only looks for sources in the overlap region of sectors.
Peak Tracking
Tracks signal peaks.
Optimize Sectors
Find Sectors with maximum Power at Source Frequency. Click to locate base station(s) that transmit the most power at the source frequency.
Show Heat Map
Isolates the interferer signal by displaying a heat sense map over the suspected region.
Search Area Size
Use the slider to set the line lengths on the map.
Heat Map Intensity
Use the slider to set the line lengths on the map.
Create Report
Generate a report for the current location estimate. See PoA Report.
Export Location
