Ackcio - SAA

If the Ackcio Gateway includes SAA Nodes there are a few steps that are required so the SAA data imports correctly into the VDV system.

When an SAA Node has been added by Ackcio the project will become yellow indicating that there are missing settings that are needed so that VDV can convert the data correctly.

Click on the  button and locate the SAA node in the list.

Click the cog icon and the SAA Settings opens up.

From there it's required to set the

• Type
• Units
• Azimuth
• Reference

and save.

Once the information has been updated the VDV System will import Ackcio SAA Nodes directly into VDV.

Missing Calibration File Error

In the case where the VDV is unable to connect to the internet and download the calibration file, a manual upload of the calibration file is possible.

Click the button and in the upper right corner, there is a button displaying the serial number for the calibration file required to upload.

That serial number can be used to download the calibration file in the SAA Suite.

Click the Upload Calibration File button and upload the calibration file.
