5 Configuration of the collar
Prior to deploying the collar to an animal, it has to be configured. This is done according to
your requirements by VECTRONIC Aerospace before delivery.
5.1 Installation of the GPS Plus Collar Manager Software GPS PLUS X
Installation is simple and straightforward. There are three ways to start the installation:
•
If you use the AutoRun CD which has been delivered with the collars, follow the
instructions for “Set-up your system”.
•
You can start the installation manually from the VECTRONIC CD by starting the
GPS Plus X setup file, then
◦
follow the instructions in the automatically started GPS Plus X set-up program
◦
or manually start the file Ressources\VECTRONIC Software\GPS Plus X
Vxx.x.x setup.
•
You can download the latest release version of the software on the VECTRONIC
homepage (Wildlife Monitoring → Downloads) and start the set-up manually.
The installation procedure will ask you for a destination directory and suggest a default
directory. You can now decide whether you want to install one of the following software
packages (list might vary with program versions):
User Interface: GPS Plus X User Interface to services and collar control
Data Storage Service: Service that manages collected and stored collar data
Data Collector Service: Service that receives collar data via email
Colour Selector: Tool to select a colour for the belt of your collar
TeamViewerQS VAS: Tool for remote support by VECTRONIC Aerospace GmbH
GPS Plus X Manual: Manual for the GPS Plus X system
By default, GPS Plus X will be configured to run on a single computer without any network
or data collectors. The next chapter will give you an overview of the configurations that might
be necessary and in which chapters you will find information on these.
5.2 Calculate Collar Lifetime
This command estimates the lifetime of your VERTEX PLUS Survey collar and can be found
in the Tools menu of GPS Plus X. You need to select the
Collar Type
“Vertex Survey” and
choose an
Activation Date
of the collar (e.g. 01.01.2000). Now you need to set the
Vertex GPS
schedule
. Please make sure that the starting points of the schedules are the same as the
Activation Date
you selected.
