obstructions, antenna height and signal strength. The computerized study has three major <br /> parts: <br /> 1. System Map - A map is drawn showing the physical locations of all of the sites <br /> involved in the study. A narrative describes the map including GPS coordinates. <br /> Telemetry System Overview - An overview of the system architecture shows the <br /> functional relationship of the master to the remotes. A narrative describes the <br /> system overview. <br /> 2. Water System Paths - A diagram is created showing the master and all of the sites <br /> identified with a number. This diagram shows the polling scheme for the radio <br /> system. A narrative describes the diagram and the polling scheme. <br /> 3. Frequency Selection - Based upon the early results of the study, WME will undergo <br /> preliminary selection of the frequency range and recommend radio equipment for <br /> the project. <br /> B. Analysis Summary: <br /> This narrative describes the findings of the study and points out the areas of concern that <br /> specifically need to be addressed in the field path survey. <br /> C. SupplementalInformation: <br /> All of the study's findings will be captured in a spreadsheet titled the "Communication <br /> Path Summary". This summary lists all of the master and remote locations. All of the <br /> radio path signal data and estimated antenna heights are included in the summary. <br /> All of the paths are diagrammatically shown on individual Path Profile Plots. These Path <br /> Profile Plots show the radio path from the master to the remote including the terrain <br /> profile, Fresnel zone, path distance, direction, site elevation and coordinates. <br /> III. On-Site Survev <br /> A. On-Site Field Path Survey: <br /> Utilizing the results of Part II, a field path survey is performed with test radios and antenna <br /> positioned at each remote site and the master. The results of this survey verify the actual <br /> site conditions encountered during the radio testing. This testing validates the preliminary <br /> results of the computerized path analysis and will confirm the suitability of each radio path <br /> and establish the required antenna heights and positioning. <br /> The On-site Field Path Survey tests the following items: <br />� <br />
