Audible signal
The EA_Mobile default is to emit an audible beep upon each good read. See
“System Setup button” on page 68 for details on changing this setting.
Route Sequence
You may drive the route in any order since the EA_Mobile is constantly computing
which endpoints are available for interrogation.
Lat/Lon option Lat/Lon (Latitude/Longitude) is the default Reading mode (unless changed in the
Guide file via Route Manager software). It allows you to automatically select for
interrogation only those endpoints determined to be in the interrogation window
of the EA_Mobile at any given time. This means that only a portion of the route list
must be scanned at a location allowing for maximum speed in capturing route
data.
• Lat/Lon is recommended for routes of 300 endpoints or more.
• Endpoints with zero or default coordinates will not appear for interrogation
in this mode.
• Use the Lat/Long option when all or most endpoints on your route have valid
Lat/Lon coordinates and your GPS system is functioning normally.
