Operation
SeaGauge-Remote is sealed and self-contained. All user control is performed via the built-in
USB or RS232 ports. The unit can be configured with the included vDash utility described in
a separate manual or via text commands sent directly to the serial port.
When you receive your unit it has been programmed with default sensor calibration tables
and labels. All alarms have been cleared. The unit can be reconfigured by modification of the
tables using a text editor and reloading the unit.
To prevent any errors in programming – it is recommended to use the included vDash utility
for reprogramming of the unit. While it is possible to manually reconfigure the tables using
standard serial communications utilities
– any errors could render the unit inoperable and
require reprogramming of the entire unit using the separate flash programming port.
