Correct (no spaces): C9=C3+C4+C6
• The controller interprets equations using standard math rules regarding order of operations. If you are
unsure of how to apply these rules, use parentheses to ensure that the controller is calculating what you
want it to calculate.
• The maximum value that a math channel can display is limited to five active digits, 65535 or a 16 bit
number. If the calculated value exceeds this maximum, an error message will appear when monitoring
the channel. To prevent this error, scale down the value from the equation using the divide function.
Equations containing more than 40 characters or more than three constants can be created by putting additional
math channels on-line. These additional channels can be used to calculate intermediate results used by the math
channel. The example below shows an incorrect equation with more than three constants and the use of multiple
math channels to create a correct equation.
Incorrect (contains more than 3 constants) C9=10*C3+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1
Correct C10=10*C3 (hide this channel)
C9=C10+100*C2+1000*C4+10000*C1
94 TVG DAC Count
TVG DAC Counts allows you to set up a transmission delay for the transducers. The amount of time between
transmit signals from the SonoTracker Series will be at least TX Delay; more time will be provided if necessary
because of distance to the target. Increasing TX Delay may be useful if you have a target that causes a lot of
reverberation of signals. Delaying the next transmit signal allows the noise from the reverberation to dissipate
before the next signal is transmitted.
95 MICRO FUNC
This menu allows you to test the keyboard, test the nonvolatile RAM, reset the nonvolatile RAM to default
parameters, and monitor the serial port. It has the following submenus:
KEYTEST (KEYBOARD TEST)
This function displays the number of the last key that was
pressed. Table 6-1 lists all the keys on the SonoTracker Series
keypad and their corresponding reference numbers.
NVRAM TEST (RAM MEMORY TEST) (CONSULT
BINDICATOR BEFORE MODIFYING!)
This function performs an internal, nondestructive test on the
non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) on the Microprocessor PCB. This
test does not reset any parameters. Upon completion of the
test, the display should say RAM TEST PASSED! If it does not,
contact Bindicator. When the test is complete, press the Esc
Key to return to the Micro Func Menu.
