Data Source

The Data Source displays a "matrix" view of all the inputs and outputs and allows you to setup port priorities when more than one sensor provide the same data. All data types supported by TimeZero are listed in the first column (position, heading, etc...). Before this window is displayed, TimeZero analyzes all the inputs. For each data type and configured ports, the data source window display if it is "unselected" (unavailable), "Selected & Detected" (configured and correctly detected), or just "Selected" (configured by not detected).

If the same data type has been selected on more than one port, a drop down menu (in the "Master") column allows you to select which port to use as a primary sensor (which will be the port used for that specific data in TimeZero):

If the Master Sensor becomes unavailable, TimeZero will automatically select another for you. If the Master Sensor becomes available again, TimeZero will revert back to it automatically without user interaction.

This allows you to design a system with total redundancy (as long as you have multiple GPS sources).
