Initial Screen

Users are initially presented with the following screen.

To start the tool, click on the screen.

Standard View

System Health

The bottom half of the interface includes a number of indicators of system health.

• The dot next to SERVER LINK CONNECTED confirms the tool is connected to the server.
• The TD Lag displays how long it has been since the last TD update was received. The TD lag will typically be within 10 seconds.
• The Last Update displays the time the most recent data was received. This will most commonly update every 1-2 seconds.

STEPHEN: ARE THESE ^ RIGHT? ALL SEEM A BIT SIMILAR!

If the system health indicators are not updating as expected, please see aSIST Support.

Routing Display

The Wrong Route Tool can display up to six different junctions.

Each junction is confined to its own box. For example, below is the display for New Cross Gate.

The tool displays the headcode of the next train approaching the junction.

The black arrow indicates the planned route or direction of that train.

What are the skinny boxes below the arrow and headcode?

What does it mean if there is an asterix on the arrow? (Seen in Briefcase Rail presentation)

When the arrow is green, this means the route set is the same as the planned route; a correctly routed train.

If the route set is not the same as the planned route, an audible and visual warning is displayed as seen below.

A question mark will be displayed if aSIST has been unable to match a schedule. For example, an unplanned service:

If all headcodes are displaying as unmatched, there may be an issue with the timetable information. Please see aSIST Support.

Wrong Route Set

If a wrong route is set an audible and visual alarm is generated.

The audible alarm reads the name of the signal at the junction.

In the example below, 9C21 has been routed towards X vice Y.

The arrow has turned red to show this is incorrect and the headcode is also flashing red.

Does the arrow point in the direction of the wrong route, or the intended/correct route?

The alarm will continue to sound/display until? Or to remove the alarm do this....
