Operation Mode

Operation Mode

In this section of the settings, you can select a suitable operation mode. The operation mode influences the battery consumption and the accuracy of positional data.
  1. Light Mode: the mode which allows saving battery power and receiving approximate data about the location of the unit.
  2. Standard Mode: the mode which allows consuming battery power moderately and obtaining accurate tracks of the unit.
  3. Custom Mode: the mode which you can customize according to your requirements

Custom Mode Settings

To configure a custom mode, tap the Edit button. Next, specify the required settings in the Operation Mode and Filtration sections. 

Operation Mode
In this section, you should specify the frequency of collecting and sending positional data and if necessary, enable the heartbeat mode

         

The available settings are outlined below:

  1. Data Collection: specify the frequency at which positional points should be generated. In the drop down list on the right, select the unit of time (seconds or minutes). The lower the specified value, the more accurate the data. 
  2. Data Sending: specify the frequency at which positional data should be sent to the server. In the drop down list on the right, select the unit of time (seconds or minutes). The lower the specified value, the higher the consumption of traffic and battery power. 
  3. Heartbeat: activate this option to specify the frequency at which heartbeat messages should be sent to the server when the unit is not moving. Such messages allow seeing only that the unit is online. In the drop down list, select the unit of time (seconds or minutes).

Filtration
In this section, you can specify the filtration conditions for messages, The filtration allows you to avoid sending redundant data to the server. 

           

Messages are filtered only when they are received by means of GPS.

The filtration conditions are applied in accordance with the OR principle, that is, the positional data is sent to the server when any of the selected conditions are fulfilled:
  1. Max inaccuracy, m: activate this option to specify the maximum allowed inaccuracy of positional data which should be sent to the server. 
  2. By time: activate this option to specify a frequency at which positional points should be sent to the server. In the drop down list, select the unit of time (seconds or minutes).
  3. By distance, m: activate this option to specify a distance which the unit should travel from the time of the previous message to send a new positional point.
  4. By speed, km/h: activate this option to specify the difference in speed between messages at which a new postional point should be sent to the server.
  5. By change in course, degrees: activate this option to specify the difference in course angle between messages at which a new positional point should be sent to the server.
