The best way to create an overview of measuring locations is in a table (Excel sheet). Set up a sufficient number of columns to allow the information to be added gradually.
Based on your technological requirements, identify the necessary measuring locations and specify the type and a name for each of them. Then add the corresponding parameters, e.g. offsets or max. elongation. Assign the appropriate tracking signals to the measuring locations, for example tracking ID, entry and exit length, or speed.

If you have access to ibaPDA or ibaQDR you can also enter the measuring locations there in the data store configuration. The advantage is that you get a constant overview of the measuring locations in order (tree structure) and also an overview table showing the assignment of signals, measuring locations, and profiles. |
