Configuring COM Ports
There are three available COM ports on the Topside Interface Box to provide the necessary information
to the 6205s2. This information includes position (latitude/longitude), heading, attitude (roll, pitch, and
heave), and time. This appendix explains how to configure the three COM ports depending on the type of
sensors used.
NOTE:
Most COM port configurations should be completed via the
Discover Bathymetric Software.
8.3.1
One Sensor
One sensor, such as the Applanix PosMV, may be used to supply position (latitude/longitude), heading,
attitude, and a time source. For this type of configuration, only COM1 will be utilized.
To configure the COM ports for one sensor:
1.
Turn on Topside PC and connect the 6205s2 via the deck cable to the 6205s2 Topside Interface
Box.
2.
Turn on the 6205s2 Sonar Head and run the Remote Desktop Application, named Sonar. The main
should appear.
Figure 8-11: Sonar Remote Desktop Application, Main Screen
Here, the user will see the Sonar Application running (designated by the blue arrow). Sonar.exe is
the firmware that controls the system.
3.
Click on the 'X' at the top right to close the firmware.
4.
Double click on the Shortcut to EdgeTech icon and open the SSSonarBathy folder, then the Sonar
folder.
5.
Look for the SonarSerial.ini file, as shown in
, and open it using WordPad or Notepad,
