The object transmitter in Xirio corresponds with the typical concept of radio frequency “receiver”, including the finished reception system, the physical receiver and the specific parameters.

To create the receiver the user can either create it from a catalog element or create a new one. In the first case, a copy of the selected catalog element will be loaded, so that modifying this copy will not result in a modification of the original element in the catalog.

Then it is necessary to set the receiver parameter, its name and location.

The location data (longitude and latitude) can be entered manually, copied from a location in the catalog, accessing with the icon or selecting a point on the viewer clicking .

The user also has a coordinate calculator , to convert geographical coordinates to UTM and vice versa.

In this window there is a link to configure the receiver radio parameters.
