Data Collectors: Overview

A "data collector" in RocFall is simply a line segment that gathers information about rocks, passing through the segment wile falling down the slope. It is not a physical entity. "Data collectors" record the velocity, kinetic energy, vertical location, and horizontal location of all rocks that pass through as they travel down the slope.

There is no restriction on the number of data collectors or where they can be place. They may intersect or cross the slope, barriers, or other data collectors at any location.
