Template:FM3612 Data acquisition mode settings

Data Acquisition Modes are an essential part of FM36YX device, it is also highly configurable.
By configuration user defines how records will be saved and sent. There are three different modes: Home, Roaming and Unknown. All these modes with configured data acquisition and send frequencies depend on current GSM Operator defined in Operator list and are switched when GSM operator changes (e.g. vehicle passes through country boarder).
If current GSM operator is defined as Home Operator, device will work in Home Data Acquisition mode, if current operator is defined as Roaming Operator, device will work in Roaming Data Acquisition mode, and if current operator code is not written in Operator list (but there is at least one operator code in the operator list), device will work in Unknown Acquisition mode.
This functionality allows having different AVL records acquire and send parameters values when object is moving or stands still. Vehicle moving or stop state is defined by Stop Detection Source parameter. There are 3 ways for FM36YX to switch between Vehicle on Stop and Vehicle Moving modes. FM36YX allows having 6 different modes.

Data Acquisition Mode configuration

Operator search is performed every 15 minutes. Depending on current GSM operator, Home, Roaming or Unknown mode can be changed faster than every 15 minutes. This process is separate from operator search. Movement criteria are checked every second.

Min Saved Records defines minimum number of coordinates and I/O data that should be transferred with one connection to server. If FM36YX does not have enough coordinates to send to server, it will check again after time interval defined in Sending Period
