Abstract
A method and software product display errors of a tracking system that utilizes a plurality of receivers positioned around a tracking area to receive pings periodically transmitted by a tracking tag within the tracking area. For each locate received from the tracking system, a symbol indicative of the locate is plotted on a display graphically depicting the tracking area. A vector connecting each pair of chronologically consecutive symbols is plotted on the display, the vector visually indicating an error within the locates that would otherwise not be visible on the display. Another method concurrently displays predicted sensitivity for each of at least two receivers of a tracking system that locates tracking tags within a tracking area, the receivers being positioned within a surrounding area of the tracking area. A graphical representation of the surrounding area, the tracking area, and receiver sensitivities indicate the predicted receiver coverage of the tracking area.
