10 Select which datagram(s) you want to import from the peripheral device.
When you select sensor type ITI-FS, only one datagram can be selected; ITI-FS
Datagrams. This is a group of datagrams that allows the EK80 to import information
from trawl systems.
11 Do not specify a dedicated Talker ID.
12 Select
Add
to save the new system interface you have defined.
The system interface is added to the

Setting up the input from a motion reference unit (MRU)
The information from a motion reference unit (MRU) (normally heave, roll and pitch
information) is imported into the EK80 to increase the accuracy of the echo data.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The EK80 system is turned on and operates normally.
• The new sensor is physically connected to the EK80 using a serial or network cable.
The sensor is turned on and in normal operation.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Context
A motion reference unit (MRU) measures the vessel’s pitch and roll movements in the
sea. The information provided by the motion sensor is used by the EK80 to stabilize the
beams and the echo presentation.
