RSD - Remote Sensor Diagnostics
The Remote Sensor Diagnostic (RSD)
program communicates with the
installed Receivers through the ASP. The communication link can be
direct, by serial modem, by a network or even over the Internet. RSD is
a very powerful program that can remotely adjust and reconfigure
receivers, as well as govern the download of new software and hardware
configurations. Typical functions that RSD will assist in
are:
- Review the GPS satellite configurations and sensitivities
- Allow changes to the PLS system configuration such as baud rate
- Change the PLS threshold and sensitivity levels
- Download hardware configuration changes
- Download updated software
- Examine the power supply voltages
- Read the PLS sensor operating temperature
- Permit self-test of the sensor with preinstalled lightning
waveforms.
- Monitor the oscillator accuracy
