USING TRACKMAN
BATS interfaces to TrackMan via the Ethernet cable.
NOTE:
See TrackMan Software Manual, 0019630 for more information.
Interface, BATS Transceiver
The BATS Transceiver uses the standard EIA RS-232C serial communications interface to communicate
with other peripherals, such as GPS TimeSync (COM1), heading, or pitch/roll sensors. These can be
configured from the individual Devices Setup Dialog boxes. COM#1 “USBL to GPS Time”
COM1 is reserved for the GPS/TimeSync interface. To configure the GPS Time interface, from the Project
Tree select GPS/TimeSync from the Main menu go to USBL/GPS Time Sync. Set the BAUD RATE, the
number of DA-TA BITS required and the number of STOP BITS for the device in use. Connect the COMMs
Interface cable (9-pin DEC) between the Transceiver and the GPS device. Data rate is limited to 16 Hz.
4.1.1
COM#2 or COM#3 “Sensor to USBL”
For a Heading device interface, select from the Project Tree “Heading Sensor” or from the Main Menu go
to SETUP/Compass Sensor. For a motion sensor, select from the Project Tree “Attitude Sensor” or from
the Main Menu go to SETUP/Attitude Sensor Setup. Data rate is limited to 16 Hz.
The NMEA mode allows input of various NMEA compass sentences or motion sensor sentences, with or
with-out checksum verification, “HDT”, “HDM”, “TCM-2” or “HDG” NMEA formats. Set up COM port #2
for Compass input under the menu SETUP/COMPASS SETUP/TRACKPOINT (USBL). Select Serial and then
Port Settings. This allows the operator to configure the port’s Baud Rate, Data Bits and Stop Bits.
4.1.2
ETHERNET Port
The BATS Transceiver’s RJ-45 is wired as a cross-over device so that interfaces directly to a PC. If the ENET
LED is illuminated on the front panel of the Transceiver then the hardware connection is good. If
communications cannot be established, then check the PC’s IP address and subnet mask.
PC’s IP usually 192.168.3.X (X = anything but what the Transceiver’s address is. Subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. Port Number 50001. Other IP addresses can be set into the Transceiver, e.g., if using a
local network on a vessel. Contact
for details.
