Multiple Status



Status... Multiple Status Window (F4)

The column with the header of ‘S’ is for the current vehicle communication status. ‘P’ means the vehicle is being polled. ‘H’ means that vehicle history download is in progress. ‘M’ means that a text message is being sent to the vehicle. ‘C’ means that a configuration (time/dist, speed, etc…) message is being sent to the vehicle. ‘R’ means a configuration request message is being sent to the vehicle. ‘O’ means an output (in-vehicle control) message is being sent to the vehicle. ‘S’ means that a special message is being sent to the processor (e.g. clear history, stop download, etc…). 'h' (lowercase h) means the vehicle is hidden from the map (go to Vehicle...Display on Map). 'u' (lowercase u) means that the vehicle is undefined (go to Vehicle...Settings...). If there is a ‘+’ preceding any of the defined statuses (not 'h' or 'u'), then the vehicle is queued and waiting to process the command (e.g. ‘+P’ is waiting to poll the vehicle or ‘Get Position’ has been queued).

The Multiple Vehicle Status window shows all major status fields for all currently active vehicles. To change the columns being displayed right-click on the header of this window and select the columns you would like to display. To see even more columns that can be added select the More... option (you can also enable groups and dynamic sorting). The edges of each column header can be dragged to either increase or decrease the size of the selected column. The columns can also be reorder in the window by draging the column header to a new position.




Quick Tip: You can sort columns by clicking on the column header. The first time the column header is clicked the column will be sorted in ascending order. The next time the column is clicked it will be sorted in descending order. The last column clicked can also group vehicles (if enabled) together based on the column selected (e.g. State column will group all vehicles that are in the same State). Dynamic sort will cause the list to be sorted continuously (after every vehicle update the list will be sorted). You probably shouldn't enable dynamic sorting if you have a large number of vehicles or the vehicles update rapidly since the list will have to be sorted continuously.




Quick Tip: You can cause the Multiple Status window to be displayed by pressing the F4 key. The Multiple Status command can also be executed from the toolbar menu.

Quick Tip: You can right-click on a vehicle name to display the popup menu for quick access to frequently used vehicle commands (like Get Position, Find, Open Status, etc...).
