If you wish to save to another directory, specify the new
directory in the Depth log destination directory box. To
send the depth information out a serial port as well,
click in the box labeled Output to Serial Port and select
a serial port from the pull-down menu. Ultrascan PC90
will automatically configure the protocol of the selected
serial port to the NMEA 0183 standard.
Recording Live Data
Ultrascan PC90 can record the actual raw sonar that’s
transmitted over the Ethernet from the beamformer
module to the PC. The data can be saved and later
played back through the Ultrascan PC90 program.
The Ultrascan will only record raw video data when the
PC is actually receiving it from the beamformer mod-
ule. Therefore, the Record button will not work when
viewing previously recorded data.
When video recording of the raw data is available, the
record button will be a bright red color.
To start the recording, depress the RED record button.
When recording, the bottom toolbar will say RE-
CORDING and the small box to the right will turn a
blue color as shown at right.
Recording will automatically be saved in the Program
Files/Ultrascan PC90/Data file, unless another folder
has been chosen in the record schedule file.
To replay the raw data file, got o FILE—>PLAYBACK
and choose the desired file. When running the re-
corded file, you can make adjustments to most of the
controls—except for the range. Also, if the recording
was made in the vertical mode, it should be played back
in the vertical mode, etc.
If you are viewing a recording and wish to change to a
different recording, you must first go to FILE—>RUN
LIVE, and then go back to FILE—>PLAYBACK to
choose a different file.
