the appropriate sonar application and adjusting the Ethernet adapter settings to the
corresponding link speed.
Note
There are no standard sonar applications with a telemetry-link speed requirement higher
than 100 Mbps.
The ping rate is normally taken from the sonar application or range setting. If the estimated
available bandwidth is less than the bandwidth required by the sonar application/range, the
Flexview software reduces the ping rate to compensate.
Note
The update rate is the number of times the sonar view is updated per second. The displayed
ping rate may be different from the update rate because the system might be impacted
by other processes.
The
Override Network Link Speed
function allows you to use the telemetry bandwidth value
(in Mbps) entered into the box instead of the default speed. If the applied override telemetry
bandwidth is less than the telemetry bandwidth required by the sonar application/range,
the ping rate is reduced.
