Sensor returns a single message of whatever Serial Port Output Format is selected.
Since the EA request has address fields, the controller can poll any individual unit on a
point-to-multipoint link and get back a speed report from only that unit. The Dashboard
application does not support EA polling. A custom application as described in Section
Error! Reference source not found. is required to make use of this feature.

The Stalker Dashboard application displays the speeds it receives in the appropriate
speed windows. For a Stationary Speed Sensor, the strongest target the radar sees
shows in the STRONG window. If a faster, weaker signal is detected, it shows in the
FAST window. And if either a strong or fast target is locked, that speed shows in the
LOCK window. A Traffic Speed Sensor displays all of these speeds plus the vehicle
speed in the VEHICLE SPEED window. The Speedometer Speed Sensor only reports
vehicle speed which displays in the VEHICLE SPEED window.
In the example below, a Stationary Speed Sensor is reporting a strong target speed of
25 MPH and a faster target speed (which has been locked) of 40 MPH. Note the arrows
above the speed windows. The down arrows signify that the targets are approaching the
radar (closing speeds). Up arrows signify targets moving away (away speeds).

7.10 Logging Speed Data
When the Speed Sensor is sending speed data in the EE Format (the handshake
protocol), the Dashboard application can log the data to a file for later review. This
comma-delimited file lists each speed entry with a timestamp and can easily be imported
to a spreadsheet or text editor. Logging is not enabled by default, so a few settings in
the application’s control file are necessary to get it started. Refer to the next chapter for
complete details of this control file, but follow the steps below to enable logging:
