π Direction of Arrival (DoA): Maps & Media Mastery
The New Dashboard’s Map Views and Media Integration take your monitoring to the next level by giving you clear insights into where activity is happening and where it’s coming from. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of these features!
πΊοΈ Enhanced Map Views
The maps in the New Dashboard are dynamic and aspect-specific, meaning you can toggle between noise, dust, and vibration to see exactly what’s happening at each monitoring point.
Aspect-Specific Data
When you select an individual aspect (e.g., Noise, Dust, Vibration), the map updates to show the most relevant data:
- Vibration: Displays the latest vSum readings at each point.
- Noise & Dust: Shows the Direction of Arrival (DoA) directly on the map.
- Data values are represented visually—larger symbols mean higher values, and brighter colours indicate more significant activity.
π― What is Direction of Arrival (DoA)?
DoA is your tool for pinpointing where noise or dust is coming from, based on the Hexanode’s internal compass and directional data collection.
How It Works
- Map Indicators: The map displays the primary direction of activity for noise and dust.
- Detailed Visualisations: When you click a monitoring point, a more detailed DoA visualisation appears, giving you granular insights into the source of activity.
π§ Ensuring Accurate DoA Data
Device Orientation is Key
The Hexanode Device’s internal compass determines its orientation, directly affecting the accuracy of DoA data. To maintain precise measurements:
- Install the device correctly: Follow the orientation guide for your site setup.
- Re-check device alignment during maintenance or redeployment.
π‘ Pro Tips for DoA & Maps
- Use the DoA visualisation to identify trends and hotspots for noise or dust.
- Switch between aspects to compare activity across monitoring points in real time.
- For stacked symbols, remember the largest values are always shown on top, no matter the zoom level—super handy for quickly identifying priority areas.
