The MCN Remote Comparator Display software can control and monitor up 64 comparator interface modules with up to 8 receivers per module, for a total of 512 receivers. The MCN Remote Comparator Display software can log receiver failures and errors to the PC screen or a disk file. The error log can aid in diagnosing intermittent receivers or phone lines. Multiple Displays You can have multiple local PC Operator Interfaces running MCN Remote Comparator Display software. In addition to local displays connected to the MCN network, you can also have dial-up PCs operating simultaneously.
Some dispatch centers have comparators located at a remote location.
The standard MCN Remote Comparator Display system will support a remote PC Operator Interface over a leased-line modem. Custom systems are available which allow multiple PCs at the dispatch center to share the same leased line to the remote comparators. Since the PC does not have to be dedicated, it may be used for other applications when not monitoring the comparator. Controlling Comparators at Multiple Sites MCN Remote Comparator Display systems can be custom-designed to control comparators located at multiple remote sites.
