MicroTally 4

Model 1118
The BASICON MicroTally™ 4 - Model 1118 is a revolutionary new state of the art ,tally counter,. It’s small size and light weight reduce fatigue while counting. It’s low power design allows the unit to operate several months from a single 9V Alkaline battery.

The MicroTally 4 is intuitive and the easiest to use. There are no confusing displays or menus to worry about. To start a study, turn the power switch on and begin pressing the appropriate keys. When you are finished, just turn the switch off. You may record any number of studies before you download the data.

As a turning movement counter, the unique design of this instrument allows just four keys to record all movements in an intersection  It takes two keypresses to record a movement.  The first press is when a vehicle enters the intersection and the second press is when the vehicle exits.  An audible indicator  beeps once when the entrance key is pressed and twice when the exit key is pressed.  With these four keys you can unambiguously record all normal turning movements for an intersection, including "U" turns.  In addition there are two extra keys that can be used to indicate  pedestrians, bicycles, trucks, “OOPS!”, etc.

The MicroTally 4 records and time-stamps all keypresses, when it is on, up to 256,000 keypresses. Therefore, the same unit can be used for all sorts of studies, including turning movment counts, gaps, saturation flow rates, stop delays, vehicle classifications, speeds, and general purpose tally counting (i.e. people counting at events). At report time, any interval may be specified, from one minute up. This unit can record any number of studies, which can be mixed, between downloads.

The MicroTally 4 is powered by a single, standard, 9V alkaline battery, and will operate several months from the battery. All keypresses are stored in non-volatile Flash memory, so no data is lost if the battery must be changed in the field.

 The BASICON WinTally™ software is the key to the MicroTally unit’s features. With WinTally, you configure the MicroTally data into your desired studies and reports. The data is stored in a raw time-stamped format, therefore, you can generate multiple studies from the same data set. The downloaded raw data file is non-editable, however the generated study files may be edited. 

WinTally is a 32 bit Windows95/98/NT application, fully Year 2000 ready.

WinTally will support a variety of studies, including, turning movement counts, staturation flow rates, Stop delay, gaps, vehicle classifications, user assigned counts, and speeds. WinTally can generate intersection reports and columnar reports. In addition, WinTally can generate comma delimited files for importing into spreadsheets and databases.
