Detectors

The Detectors section is designed to add, edit, configure, and remove detectors from the System.

Menu Detectors

When you click on Menu item Detectors, you go to the detectors page which contains a filter and a list of all detectors existing in the System.

The filter sets parameters for selecting detectors by name, project, connection status, detector ID, index, and primary data analysis.
