MC5700 Series RSU Support

Configuration

The MC5700 series RSU is configured as two pairs of inputs, known as channels. Each channel can be independently configured with the following parameters:

  • Variant - disabled, time-stamping, or binned count.
  • Input triggering - slope, absolute level and adaptive level.
  • Input adjustment - attenuator and pull-up.
  • Optional analog reading via A/D converter.

A RSU’s configuration is set by selecting from a list of common configurations in either MCSetLite or MCSetup. The list can be modified using MCSetup.

Switching Channels

Each channel of a MC5700 RSU is controlled independently of the other. The four main functions of Status, Setup, Unload and View apply to the currently selected channel, which is displayed in the status bar. The channel can be switched using the Channel button on the main toolbar.

Switching channels

When the first operation is performed on an RSU for a new session, a New Connection dialog box is displayed showing the RSU’s current channel. This will be displayed again when switching channels.

Binned Count Data

The MetroCount 5700 series RSU has an optional binned count mode, where events are counted and binned at a user defined interval for each input.

Binned data can be used with any of MCReport’s Event reports, with optional interpolation (distributing the counts evenly across the bin interval).

Remember, time-stamping should be used for vehicle data.
