The main screen of the system when powered on shows the system time, some fixed system information, the available menu items and some additional information about either the current timing status, network or passing information.

The top row contains the system name and current battery status, the top and bottom display a preview of the next / previous timing information screen.

Battery Status

The current charge level of each battery is shown.
An arrow indicates the charge status for each battery

Battery is charging

Time remaining until fully charged

Battery is discharging

Time remaining until empty

Battery is not currently in use

Text Input (With Keyboard)

Settings which accept a text input will open a keyboard when editing the setting.

The keyboard can be controlled using the keypad on the device. If connected to the same network as Ubidium or to the system Access Point you can scan the on screen QR code to access the system browser interface which will also provide a text input to directly edit the text using your device.

System Data Screens

There are 3 datasets can be displayed in the system data area, these can be cycled using the up/down arrow keys. Additionally a short preview of each hidden view is shown at the top / bottom of the screen.

Timing Status

Active Loop Information

Current system Loop and Channel IDs are shown with the loop power.

Additional systems on the same channel within range are also shown below.

Loop Boxes in range in repeat mode will be listed below with the Loop ID and Loop Power.

Passive Antenna Information

Currently connected antennas are shown with their corresponding antenna number. A solid antenna indicates the antenna is currently detecting a transponder.

If a letter is displayed instead of the antenna number then the antenna is currently reporting an error, the possible errors are as follows:

B - Bad: The antenna reports high noise (most commonly from reflections or obstruction)
? - Unavailable: A previously connected antenna is no longer communicating with the System
M - Mute: Can occur shortly after booting before an antenna is ready for opreration
U - Update: The element is undergoing a firmware update and will be available again soon
(empty): Element is unresponsive but is still able to pass through data and power
! - Unknown Error: This should be reported to RACE RESULT for further diagnosis

Passing Information

Passing information displays the current last reads on the left side. If the detections are within 1 second of the last timestamp displayed then a gap will be shown rather than the full time.

Additionally displayed on the right side is data relating to the current passings file:

File Number
Unique Transponders seen
Active passings recorded
Passive passings recorded
Markers recorded
Total passings recorded

Networking Information

Current connection status for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Mobile (GSM) and Cloud Connection, for network connections, there are three possible icons.

Black cloud - This connection is currently being used to connect to the internet
Cloud outline - This connection has an internet connection available but is not currently being used
Crossed out cloud - No internet connection is available on this network'

This is followed by the IP address for the ethernet and Wi-Fi connections and additional mobile network information for the mobile connection.

When the Cloud upload is enabled then the count of passings which have been uploaded will be displayed below and the status bar will also indicate the percentage of passings which have been uploaded.

The mobile status will also indicate whether it is using the internal or external SIM card. Note that unless the internal SIM has been explicitly unlocked for the system it will not be able to connect to the cloud using the internal mobile connection.

Settings Menus

From the main screen 4 menu icons are displayed, clicking the corresponding navigation key will open the corresponding menu. Clicking the back key from the main screen will also show the label for each menu.

Inside the menu any sub-menus of that item are shown below, sub-menus and menu items can be accessed by clicking the corresponding navigation key.

If an error has occurred then the General Settings icon may display an exclamation mark, this will be cleared when opening the Error Log.

Network Settings

Ubidium can be used as part of a local network, or can connect to remote server to upload data.

There are three different interfaces for networking which can be used in multiple ways.

LAN / Ethernet
Wi-Fi (Either as a Client or Access Point)
Mobile GSM
