Detector Status

Real-Time Analysis

The incoming data from all detectors is analysed in real-time before being written to the database.

This analysis consists of the calculation of coincidences between all possible detector pairs. Additionally each individual and total coincidence detection rate is determined.

In order to ensure the validity of the data at all times, each detectors reliability is judged.

Reliability

Determining factors include e.g. quality of GNSS signal, effective DOP or the steadieness of detection rate.

For a detailed view, you can check out the relevant code at our github.

Additionally to the standard requirements, individual events can cause an instant unreliability mark due to exceptionally bad time resolution or no valid GNSS fix. Those events are automatically rejected.

Compare the code to see the detailed requirements.

Possible detector status

Status	Data is processed	Description
offline	no	The detector is not connected or experiences network problems
online	no	The detector is recently connected
reliable	yes	The detector is connected and all parameters are deemed good
unreliable	no	The detector is connected but experiences network problems or has sub-optimal runtime parameters
