 | AeroShield API Software Logo This icon is located at the top-left corner of the Trace Monitor GUI screen. Click provides GUI display screen size viewing choices.  • Restore: Resets the GUI display to the default view. Restore is active only after clicking Maximize and the GUI screen is in a full screen mode. Restore is normally grayed and only becomes available after Maximize is active. • Move: Move the GUI display screen. • Size: Resize the display. • Minimize: Minimizes the screen. • Maximize: Changes the GUI screen to full size. • Close: Closes the GUI screen display. |
 | Configuration Settings This provides access to program settings and configuration. See Configure Tracking Bands. |
 | Load 'Loads a previously saved user configuration file. |
 | Save Save the current configuration. Default file extension is ‘.adt’, (Anritsu Drone Tracking). If any setting that affects trace sweeps is changed, a prompt will be displayed to re-create masks. To recreate masks, see Configure Tracking Bands. |
 | Load a Map Load a map file that includes the location of the remote monitors. If this is a new map file it may not have the geo-coordinates embedded and AeroShield will prompt for them. Refer to Maps regarding creating and loading maps into the AeroShield application. |
 | Create a mask Collects new sweeps to apply masks. Masks are saved in a configuration (.adt) file. To create masks, see Configure Tracking Bands. Note: If a mask configuration is not saved, the new masks will be lost when the program is closed. |
 | Save Event All tracking events are automatically saved to a file. However, the tracking event list displayed in the User Interface does not contain all historical tracks. It only shows tracking events for the current session. This button saves just the list of events in the current tracking event list to an HTML formatted file for viewing, reporting, and archiving. See the printed AeroShield Tracking and Detection List. |
 | Clear Clears the tracking event list. All tracking events are stored in a disk file. This button does not remove anything from that file. It only clears the on-screen list. If the program runs for an extended period, the displayed list may become quite long. The listing can be cleared at anytime. |
 | Sweep on Selected RSM Monitoring must be stopped to use this function. The user can click an RSM and view the sweeps in the trace graph. If not monitoring, the user can use this function to sweep an individual RSM. |
 | Monitor and Track Starts the monitoring and tracking process. The button changes background color when monitoring is active. The Status bar at the bottom of the window also shows the active state. While monitoring, the trace graph will continuously update with the sweep activity. |
 | RSM Health Check Displays a Health Check Report of the RSMs. It provides status of the GPS connection as a “GOOD FIX” or “NO FIX”, model number and options, version number, response time per ping, and an in-use flag when busy or not busy. See AeroShield Health Check Report. |
 | Measure Network Performance The button performs two tests on each RSM Latency test: It steps through 100 center frequencies and collects a sweep trace at each. It reports the average round trip time. Throughput test: It downloads a set of 10 IQ captures and measures the time it takes. This is reported in the log file as MB/sec. |
 | Site Planning This tool assists the user to calculate and plan the distribution of RSMs within a determined coverage area. |
