Network data – Image over Ethernet ”Round Robin”
Problem
• 2 monitors on the bridge is displaying Xband Radar – Which one should be recorded?
.
Solution 1 – Record both channels

• Configure 2 image channels and use “Location” as filter.
• Each monitor are recorded on separate channels
• Effectively the same image is recorded twice every 15 seconds
Solution 2 – Use Round Robin principle

• Configure 1 image channel and use “Class” as filter.
• Channel will record picture from monitor 1, wait 15 seconds and record next image from
monitor 2 and so on.
Advantages of “Round Robin”

• Saves space (fewer images recorded)
• More than 8 monitors can be recorded

190
Example - Sentence
ID: The tag created for this example. All ID’s received in the sentence on SI02 must be in this tag.
Object label: Mandatory column, but no data are needed for generating a decoder library.
This will become the “descriptor” in front of the data when showed in the VDR Explorer.
Text when low: The tag created for this example.

Text places in this tag will be displayed when the STATUS = 0.
Text when high: The tag created for this example.

Text places in this tag will be displayed when the STATUS = 1.
Serial Channel: Mandatory column, but no data are needed

for generating a decoder library. The source of the data (on the VDR) 191
MS Excel may be used for creating the CSV file i.e. use Excel as editor, when done
store the file as XLS and then as CSV. Do not later open and edit the CSV file using
Excel. If changes are needed edit the XLS file and store a CSV file again.
The ”Save as type” must correspond to the settings

in the VDR explorer configuration creator tool.
192
When the CSV data file is ready load it now (it can be loaded or replaced at any time)
193
Example - Decoder
Click on the “Add” button in order to include a decoder template.
194
Example - Decoder
In this case a “prototype decoder” which is known to work has been pasted into the editor
