||||
At the middle of the application window are a collection of tabbed views that provide access to the Now Playing view,
|
||||
Map view, Tuners view and Playlist Editor access button.
|
||||
|
||||
## Now Playing
|
||||
The **Now Playing** tabbed view displays a table of channels currently decoding in the application. Each channel row
|
||||
can be selected and you can access details about the channel in the Selected Channel tabbed views below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Decoding Channels Table
|
||||
The decoding channels table lists the channels currently enabled for decoding. The following is a description of the
|
||||
column contents.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Status** - indicates the status or state of the decoder assigned to the channel. User-activated channels will
|
||||
normally decode until the user stops the channel. Traffic channels that are dynamically created by the decoders will
|
||||
exist in a sequence of states until the decoder decides to stop the channel when the activity on that traffic channel
|
||||
has ceased.
|
||||
* **ACTIVE** - the decoder is actively decoding information from the channel.
|
||||
* **CALL** - unencrypted call audio is active on the channel.
|
||||
* **CONTROL** - the decoder is actively decoding control messaging.
|
||||
* **DATA** - the decoder is decoding a data packet.
|
||||
* **ENCRYPTED** - channel messages are encrypted, normally associated with an encrypted call.
|
||||
* **FADE** - the decoder has not decoded any messages or audio in at least the preceding two seconds.
|
||||
* **IDLE** - channel is idle and the decoder is not decoding any messages or audio activity.
|
||||
* **RESET** - channel is being reset to be reused.
|
||||
* **TEARDOWN** - traffic channel activity has ceased and the channel is being torn down and stopped.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Decoder** - the radio protocol decoder selected for the channel.
|
||||
* **From** - one or more identifiers for the calling or sending entity.
|
||||
* **Alias** - alias(es) for the identifiers listed in the **From** column
|
||||
* **To** - one or more identifiers for the called or receiving entity.
|
||||
* **Alias** - alias(es) for the identifiers listed in the **To** column
|
||||
* **Channel** - logical channel identifier
|
||||
* **Frequency** - center tuned frequency for the channel
|
||||
* **Channel Name** - name assigned to the channel by the user in the channel configuration. Dynamically created traffic
|
||||
channels will display **TRAFFIC** in this column.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Selected Channel - Tabbed Views
|
||||
You can select individual channel rows in the decoding channels table and see channel and decoder status information in
|
||||
the tabbed views below the table.
|
||||
|
||||
### Selected Channel - Details View
|
||||
The selected channel details view displays summary information about the channel or radio system produced by the channel
|
||||
decoder. For certain radio protocols like the APCO25, the decoder assembles summary details about the radio
|
||||
network and individual radio sites and channels. For other radio protocols, the decoder assembles a list of
|
||||
observed entities active on the radio channel.
|
||||
|
||||
* **System** - the user-assigned system label specified in the channel configuration.
|
||||
* **Site** - the user-assigned site label specified in the channel configuration.
|
||||
* **Channel Name** - the user-assigned channel name specified in the channel configuration.
|
||||
* **Refresh** Button - refreshes the details panel with the latest summary information from the decoder.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Selected Channel - Events View
|
||||
The events view displays a list of events occurring on the currently selected channel. You can enable logging of
|
||||
these events in the [Playlist Editor](Playlist-Editor) channel configuration in the **Logging** tab.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Filter** Button - provides options for filtering the contents of the events view. The set of filters are
|
||||
specific to each decoder protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Clear** Button - clears the contents of the events table. This button also has a down-click arrow submenu where you can
|
||||
specify the quantity of events to keep in the table view. The default history value is 500.
|
||||
|
||||
The following describes the columns of the events table.
|
||||
* **Time** - timestamp for the event. You can configure the timestamp format in the [User Preferences](User-Preferences) editor.
|
||||

|
||||
* **Event** - description of the event type
|
||||
* **From** - one or more entity identifiers that initiated the event.
|
||||
* **Alias** - alias(es) for the from identifiers.
|
||||
* **To** - one or more entity identifiers involved in the event.
|
||||
* **Alias** - alias(es) for the to identifiers.
|
||||
* **Channel** - logical channel ID where the event occurred.
|
||||
* **Frequency** - of the channel for the event.
|
||||
* **Details** - of the event.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Selected Channel - Messages View
|
||||
This view displays a table of messages decoded from the channel. You can enable logging of these messages in the
|
||||
[Playlist Editor](Playlist-Editor) channel configuration in the **Logging** tab.
|
||||
|
||||
The following describes the columns of this table:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Time** - timestamp of the message
|
||||
* **Protocol** - decoded radio protocol for the message
|
||||
* **Timeslot** - timeslot where the message occurred. This will always be zero for non-TDMA radio protocols.
|
||||
* **Message** - a description of the decoded message.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Selected Channel - Channel View
|
||||
The channel view provides details about the signal quality for the decoding channel and access to adjusting squelch
|
||||
control when the channel uses the NBFM decoder. Each decoding channel produces occasional signal strength measurements
|
||||
and those measurement details are displayed in the **Power(dB)** meter. This meter is not calibrated and the power
|
||||
readings are as measured from the digitized channel sample stream.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** the power meter details will be empty until you select a channel in the Decoding Channels table.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Power (dB)** - meter that displays squelch and power measurement details for the currently selected channel.
|
||||
* **Grey Bar** - current power level
|
||||
* **Blue Line** - current squelch threshold (when supported by the decoder)
|
||||
* **Pink LIne** - peak power level observed on the channel. This value is reset each time you refresh the channel
|
||||
view by switching to another tab in the selected channel tabs and then revisiting the channel tab.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Peak** - peak observed channel power (dB)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Power** - current channel power (dB)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Squelch** - current squelch threshold (dB), Displays **Not Available** when squelch is not supported by the decoder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Up Arrow** - increases the squelch threshold
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Down Arrow** - decreases the squelch threshold
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Map
|
||||
Displays an Open Street Maps view for displaying geo-registered events produced by the channel decoders. Certain protocols
|
||||
like APCO25, DMR and Fleetsync can produce radio GPS position reports and display those reports on the map.
|
||||
|
||||
### Map Controls
|
||||
* **Zoom** - use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out of the map
|
||||
* **Drag** - use your mouse left-click and hold to drag and reposition the map view.
|
||||

# Streaming Status Panel
|
||||
The playlist editor button in the tabbed views provides quick access to launch the [Playlist Editor](Playlist-Editor)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
# Streaming Status Panel
|
||||
The streaming status panel displays a status table for the enabled audio streaming configurations. Streaming is
|
||||
configured in the [Playlist Editor](Playlist-Editor) and aliases are assigned to one or more streaming configuration.
|
||||
This status panel displays the status of audio call streaming for each streaming configuration. The following
|
||||
describes the columns of the status table:
|
||||
|
||||
You can control display of the streaming status panel via the **View >> Show Streaming Status** menu option in the
|
||||
primary application window.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Streaming** - icon to indicate the stream format
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Name** - of the streaming configuration
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Status** - connection status for the stream
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Queued** - number of completed audio calls that have not yet been streamed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Streamed/Uploaded** - number of audio calls that have been streamed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Aged Off** - number of completed audio calls that could not be streamed or uploaded because the call audio is too
|
||||
old. This can happen when the call volume for the number of aliases assigned to the channel exceeds capacity of
|
||||
the streaming channel and calls are aged off so that more current call audio can be streamed instead.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* **Upload Error** - number of calls that were rejected for streaming. This can happen with broadcastify
|
||||
when multiple users are streaming for the same system. Broadcastify accepts the first stream request and will
|
||||
reject subsequent and duplicate requests, based on call talkgroup and call timestamp. Broadcastify can also reject call
|
||||
audio streaming requests when the service detects that your local computer system clock is not correct.
