9.2. Appendix B: Additional In<strong>for</strong>mation Regarding Data Collected<br />

9.2.1. Data Comments<br />

Prematurely ending a run<br />

- If a vehicle bus module loses its connection with the eDAQ, the run<br />

will be ended.<br />

- If the connections between the vehicle bus module(s) and the eDAQ<br />

are remade, the eDAQ will record data as usual beginning with the<br />

next run.<br />

Invalid data<br />

- The invalid data value (generally the highest possible value <strong>for</strong> a<br />

channel) indicates that the eDAQ is unable to receive in<strong>for</strong>mation from<br />

the sensor. The connection between the sensor and its associated<br />

vehicle bus module (or COMM port, depending on the sensor) is at<br />

fault.<br />

- The invalid data value <strong>for</strong> computed channels is derived from the<br />

associated transducer channels rather than the “maximum” specified in<br />

the channel setup.<br />

VBOX<br />

- In case of a loss of satellite lock, the VBOX will transmit zeros <strong>for</strong> all<br />

channels except its Time channel; the Time channel will transmit an<br />

incrementing value (like a counter).<br />

- When satellite lock is obtained, all VBOX values will be corrected.<br />

AirWeigh<br />

- When AirWeigh_Append is used, it will take up to 2 seconds from the<br />

beginning of a run to identify which trailer unit is connected<br />

- A change in trailer status will take up to 45 seconds to be properly<br />

reflected in all channels (weight, ID, tire flag, marriage indicator).<br />

- When the Air-Weigh display is unplugged, values recorded are invalid<br />

data values.<br />

- When the tractor unit is disconnected, values recorded are invalid<br />

data values.<br />

9.2.2. ID Explanations<br />

The following Tables contain in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding each channel of data<br />

collected.<br />
