This retriever was plugged in to a Golden River traffic counter on site to download traffic count data. The retriever was also used as a diagnostic device and as a means of programming the counter to recognise loop configurations. The device was carried by a traffic technician from site to site on a regular basis to retrieve, check operation and reconfigure counters as required.
