Specify what serial port to use for each particular input message. In
COM1 is used to
feed GGA, VTG, and GGK, as shown in

Two Sensors Output Same Information with Different Messages
Some motion sensors cannot turn off specific fields within their output strings. For example, a sensor that
outputs an OCTANS message delivers roll, pitch, heading, and heave to the 6205s Sonar Head with no way
for the particular sensor to turn off any of these specific fields. If a sensor like this is paired with another
sensor that outputs the same information but in a different message format (i.e., NMEA HDT), then there
is redundant information being supplied to the system. As stated before, this poses a problem and can
lead to a significant alignment error in the 6205s data.
To correct this, the 6205s can be programmed to ignore specific fields within one particular message. Use
the example above and state the second heading sensor is preferred. Proceed to the following steps:
1.
Log in to Remote Desktop as outlined in sub-section
2.
Double click on the folder labeled “Shortcut to EdgeTech Folder.”
3.
Navigate to the
D:/EdgeTech/SSSSonarBathy/Sonar
directory and open the
SonarSerial.ini
file.
WARNING!
Be careful in manipulating this file and only change what is
stated in these directions. Changing any other field may cause sonar
malfunction.
