Installation settings dialog
The system to be modified can be selected in the Installed systems frame by clicking on
its name. The current system being edited is the one highlighted. Once changes have
been made to a particular system, press
Apply
to confirm the changes. If apply is not
selected after changes are made, a dialog will prompt for confirmation before switching
to a different echo sounder. To undo incorrect changes simply click
Cancel
and dialog
will close and uncommitted settings will be discarded.
An overview of ping cycle, corresponding signals and trigger display can be found in
Appendix A.
Feedback signals (from echo sounder)
The feedback signals communicate whether an echo sounder is ready to be triggered,
and if transmit occurred.
Ready to transmit
Figure 14
Installation settings - Ready to transmit
When the ready to transmit signal is active, the Synchronizing Unit can trigger the echo
sounder. Once the ping cycle starts, it is required that the signal go inactive. Once ping
cycle is complete and echo sounder is ready again, the signal must once again become
active. It also works well if echo sounders keep this signal inactive when they are not
configured for external pinging as they will instantly be placed into
standby
(see section
on page 40 for more information). This signal is referred to as
RTS in Kongsberg installation manuals.
