When the diagnostics metadata is enabled, the diagnostics will appear as black and white lines on either side
of the counting line on the Zones and Rules page. Each line represents an object which was detected by the
counting algorithm. The width of the line shows the width of the object detected by the line. The last 5
detections are displayed for each direction with the latest one appearing closest to the counting line. Each
detection is counted as a number of objects based on the current width calibration. This is shown as follows:
 Black line: Event not counted
 Solid white line: Event counted as one object
 Broken white line: Event counted as multiple objects indicated by the number of line segments.
Using the feedback from the diagnostics, the width calibration can be fine tuned to count the correct sized
objects and filter out spurious detections.
4.4.2.8 Counters
VCAsys also supports object counting. Any combination of detection zones or lines can be assigned to a
counter. Counters can be configured to perform any combination of incremental, decremental or occupancy
counting. Counter configuration is managed through the properties inspector in a similar way to the zone
configuration.
