Stop Ping
If the Sonar Head is running, the
Stop Ping
function pauses operation of the head.
Description
When you want to stop operation of the Sonar Head, use the
Disconnect
API command.
The
Disconnect
function stops communication with the Sonar Head. The
Stop Ping
command, however, pauses operation of the Sonar Head without disconnecting from
it. When you issue this command to pause the Sonar Head, you can use the
Start Ping
command to resume pinging.
In the M3 software, the
Pause
function is the equivalent of the
Stop Ping
command. Click
the circular icon in the top-right corner of the sonar view to open the
Menu Widget
.
Then, click
Pause
.

Start Ping
If the Sonar Head is paused, the
Start Ping
function resumes operation and starts
“pinging”.
Description
When you want to start operation of the Sonar Head, use the
Connect
API command.
The
Connect
function establishes communication between the M3 software and Sonar
Head, then starts “pinging”. Issuing an additional
Start Ping
command is therefore not
necessary. However, if you pause the Sonar Head, then use
Start Ping
to resume pinging.
Note
Attempting to execute this command when the Sonar Head is not connected will elicit a
FAIL
response.
