Info

Connection types:

Local

This means the tracking software will be running on a PC or server, managed by the Track Engine service. Typically this means the tracking software is centralised and has to make a high bandwidth connection to the radar. You only need to provide the connection details of the radar for this connection type. Note also that the servers being used in the data centre must be sufficiently powerful enough to run the required number of trackers.

This connection type is also used for playing back radar data recordings where no radars or EPUs are required.

Remote

This means the tracking software is running is running on a remote EPU. The EPU is a small embedded single board computer which is usually located with or close to the radar. The EPU makes a high bandwidth connection to the radar but a low bandwidth connection to the rest of the software. You need to provide connection details of the EPU and the radar for this type of connection.

On-Board

This means the tracking software is running on the radar sensor itself. This feature is only available with the CTS-350X version 4.0 and newer. In this setup the high bandwidth connection is inside the radar and the only a low bandwidth connection is used to link to the rest of the system. You only need to provide the connection details of the radar for this connection type.

Note

For a radar to work it must be assigned to a Track Engine. For instructions of this process are documented here: -
