I n order t o m ake m ost efficient use of layout crews, it is com m on t o lay out

As soon as t he Event Manager t ool has det erm ined t hat a WRU is no longer
needed at t hat locat ion, it will change color on t he basem ap. The Observer will
need t o consider t he possibilit y of reshoot ing source point s, which could
happen if som e recording failure is discovered lat er. Assum ing no such
reshoot s, t he Observer can undeploy t he WRU or t he ent ire rib. There will be
no det rim ent al effect t o eit her t he ground elect ronics or t he CSS dat abase if
t he pick- up crew st art s picking up t he line before t he Observer has undeployed
it ( e.g. if t he backhaul is int errupt ed) , as long as t he Observer m anually
rem oves t he picked- up WRUs from t he deployed list at a lat er dat e. However,
t he preferred procedure for accurat e asset t racking is t o deploy from t he CSS
before physical pick- up.
Anot her opt ion is for an LTU t echnician t o undeploy a rib using t he HRA while
connect ed int o t he LTU/ BSU. This can only be done when t he rib has finished
all recording operat ions. This requires t hat a m essage indicat ing which WRUs
have been undeployed be sent t o t he CSS aft er t his act ion.
Undeploym ent user act ion in t he CSS can be eit her from t he basem ap or from
a spreadsheet list ing wit hin t he CSS applicat ion. An “ are you sure” pop- up
should be considered, especially for large num bers of WRUs and cert ainly for
WRUs t hat haven’t been cleared by t he Event Manager.
Once a WRU or rib is undeployed by t he Observer t hrough t he CSS, it is up t o
t he st aging m anager t o ensure t he physical pickup and asset t racking of t he
ground elect ronics. At t he end of t he proj ect , t he prim ary need t he Observer
has of t he CSS is t o ensure t hat all posit ional and t race dat a has been st ored,
