Sensor management

To add new sensor (engine on/off, acc on/off, battery, fuel tank, odometer, temperature, door open/close, GSM signal, GPS signal, satellites, tachometer, etc.) for your object, go to Object->Edit object->Sensors->Add new sensor. But before doing that, take a look below at the scheme, how parameters are sent from GPS device and how they need to be paired with sensors.

To check what parameters your GPS tracker is sending, please go to History->Select object->Show history->Data log (At the top there are parameter names and below - parameter values)

There are many parameter names like "sat, adc1, io21..." etc. So if you want to create an event for parameter "sat", then you have to input sat in the parameter name field. This will pair event with parameter.

ACC ON/OFF

> Sensor name - in this field you can write in any name you like. This name will appear as sensor name in object details panel when you click on the object.

> Sensor type - this is type of sensor, each sensor type has different parameters input options and behaviour.

> Parameter name - parameter names are identified automatically once GPS tracker is connected to the platform, select the corresponding parameter that matches your sensor.

> Unit of measurement - this text will be showed near value, for example, if you define battery sensor, then you can type in % as unit of measurement, then you will see battery sensor like "battery: 25%"

> ON value - please input parameter value to identify that acc was turned on. For example.: if parameter name is alarm: acc on, type in acc on

> OFF value - please input parameter value to identify that acc was turned off. For example.: if parameter name is alarm: acc off, type in acc off

> Set flag - is used to detect single or few characters from parameter value. Example: 12345 is parameter value and „34“is the value you want to use, so set flag would be: 3(starting character), 2(amount of characters), 34(value of parameter) “.

Battery

> Sensor name - in this field you can write in any name you like. This name will appear as sensor name in object details panel when you click on the object.

Icon - simple icon will be shown without direction and status.

Icon type - Arrow.

There are 4 states:

Moving - when device speed is higher than minimum speed defined in edit->accuracy->min. moving speed
Stopped -when device speed is lower than minimum speed defined in edit->accuracy->min. moving speed
Offline - if device is not sending information to the server 5 or more minutes or is disconnected from the GPS server
Engine idle - for engine idle to be active, you need to add sensor for ignition on/off or engine on/off and then add that sensors in edit->accuracy->engine hours (switch from GPS). Engine idle means that ignition/engine is on but device is not moving.

Edit - Advanced

In advanced section you can fill in optional information, assign device to the group (to create new group please go to Setup->Groups->Add).

Show GPRS Templates commands only - if you tick it, then only custom gprs commands will be showed for your device in Tools->Send command. GPRS templates can be created in Setup->GPRS Templates

Forward - Platform will copy and send raw device data to given IP and port in UDP or TCP connection.
Time adjustment - this will manually adjust time individually for selected GPS device. Used only in those cases, when you are unable to set time zone to UTC 0 for your device.

Edit - Sensors

Please check sensor management page for detailed documentation.

Edit - Services

Services are used to monitor insurance, technical maintenance, oil change, car parts deprecation, etc.

Edit - Accuracy

Engine hours - default selection is GPS, but if you have ignition or engine sensor connected to your GPS tracker it is highly recommended to select it here. Once selected, if ignition is off you will not see unnecessary history(like drifting), engine hours, distance, events like geofence or over speed will not be triggered, therefore you will get the most accurate information including reports.

Min. fuel difference to detect fuel fillings - if sensor value increases instantly by 10 units or more, fuel filling will be detected.
Min. fuel difference to detect fuel thefts - if sensor value decreases instantly by 10 units or more, fuel theft will be detected.

To prevent the platform from registering false movement when staying at one location and GPS points are not accurate "Min. Moving speed' value should be increased. Additionally if device has an ignition sensor - adding it will stop platform registering location points when object ignition is off.

Edit - Tail

Tail colour - select colour of the object tail
Tail length - how long is the tail
