Introduction

This page cover the SafeGuard™ Configuration Application Dashboard.

Requirements & User Cases

Provide a live-time view of a connected SafeGuard system, including raw FFT data, NavMode data, and SafeGuard config

To monitor the system using FFT and NavMode level data, and make adjustments using the config.

Quickly and easily be alerted to data exceeding threshold values in either mode.

An option to visually link an output alarm state change with a radar return within or without one of the defined areas. 

Ability to quickly identify areas that require immediate attention.

Provide an option to "look" at the raw radar data and see its proximity to the threshold value at each location. 

Allow the user access so they can identify any potential issues. 

The live display can be paused and can be reset to most current view 

Ability to review data when required.

Update rate of “live” data on visualiser matches that of the sensor update rate 

Provide the ability to view real-time or close to real-time data.

The application can display raw radar data, with a minimum refresh rate of 1 Hz 

Allow the viewing of up-to-date raw data

Application is able to display radar health, this can be abstracted to a single metric

Provide the ability to quickly assess the health of the system and identify any issues.

Navigating the Configuration Application Dashboard

The main page of the commissioning tool.

The left hand side features a panable and zoomable display of the Navigation data. There are 2 modes of operation - Global and Alarm

The right hand side features three tabs: Settings, Data and Alarms

Settings

Radar IP: The

Radar Port: The

Update: Click the Update button to

Bins to Operate?: The

SET: Click this button to write configuration to the radar. This is disabled until the GET button is clicked and ?

GET: This gets the configuration from the radar. When GET is ? the areas will be drawn in R/L hand side as polygons.

X & Y Settings: When these are adjustd , the polygons will move in the L/R hand pane.

The lower section is greyed out until the GET button is clicked.

Data

The Data tab will only display data when requested by the user using the Snapshot Raw Data button, which can be exported to a CSV/JSON/XML file or similar. On discussion, the Clear Background was decided against.

Range

Bearing?

Power

Alarm Areas Only: When this checkbox is selected, only NewMode Output within the alarm areas is shown in the list and on the PPI. Always updating list of NavMode output. This list can be sorted by clicking the header.

Snapshot Raw Data: Clicking this button grabs 1 rotation of data? and draws it ? the NavMode data in LHS

Load Background Image: Clicking this button will load in a Bitmap representing? radar range & plot on Background.

Clear Background: Click this button to remove and FFT or Bitmap from background of LHS - will this still be here?

Alarms

Alarm states can be read continuously - colossus message

Radar Health MSG to be read a standard rate and parsed to OK / Not OK

Alarms panel showing Alarms from the radar, as well as general radar health

Areas:

The areas should reflect alarm status on the PPI

Red or Green; greyed out where there is no radar or when area is disabled

Radar Health: RAG radar status also displayed on the PPI

Red or Green; greyed out if there is no active connection to t he radar.

  1. Have a visual viewer to show what radar data (spatially) is exceeding the SafeGuard threshold value in two modes: 

    1. Mode 1: Global mode (ignoring area offset) 

    2. Mode 2: Area based mode only showing in areas based on their offset  

Analysis

Risks

It might not be possible to update a raw data display in real time using standard UI technology

The current plan is to display raw data at a 1Hz update rate, not the native update rate. Feasibility is required to ensure this is achievable.

It might not be possible to display very large number of nav plots in real time using standard UI technology

A certain level of real time plots should be achievable but quantities above a certain threshold may introduce unacceptable latency. Feasibility is required to establish the maximum threshold.
