14 VESSEL ID
During the Startup Procedure for the SonoTracker Series, you input a customer-defined ID for each channel. This
menu allows you to later change the customer-defined ID.
The SonoTracker Series controller arrives from Bindicator with a factory-set ID number assigned for each
channel in the system. Note that after you have input a customer-defined ID, you can still view the original
factory-set ID when vessel monitoring in the Manual Mode by pressing the Esc Key.
15 DISPLAY SCAN TIME
When the controller is in the Auto Mode this menu allows you to choose the amount of time the controller
displays vessel monitoring information before scrolling to the next channel (It is not the internal scantime.)
Scantime can be set to 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5 seconds. The current selection is indicated by an asterisk.
The value for Scan Time is selected while in the menu tree for any channel, and applies to all of the channels in the system.
16 BAR GRAPH
You can choose to view a numerical display or a bar graph of a vessel’s contents while vessel monitoring. The
maximum span for the bar graph (Span) is set and the bar graph option for the display is turned on and off
(Enable) in this menu.
The bar graph displays the level as a numerical percentage to the left of the graph, as shown below:
01 43
50% |||||||
The 0% point of the bar graph is always 0. The 100% point of the bar graph is set by direct entry in the Span
menu using the Alphanumeric Keys or by scrolling to the desired value with the Up and Down Arrow Keys.
For example, entering the vessel’s maximum level of 100’ as the BarS value results in a bar graph with 0%
corresponding to 0 feet and 100% corresponding to 100’.
If the level reading goes above the Span value, the graph remains at 100% and the numerical percentage reflects
the actual level. For example, if the Span value is 100’ and the actual level is 120’, the numerical percentage
