Simrad TU40 interface to generic RS-232 synchronization
input
For transmission synchronization purposes, the Simrad TU40 will interface a generic
RS-232 serial line communication port using the CTS (Clear To Send) and RTS (Request
To Send) signals.
The NotUsed provides one output and one input for each hydroacoustic system that
needs to be synchronized. Each system is connected to the IO Module inside the
NotUsed. Each IO Module in the NotUsed comprises an analog input module, a digital
output module and a solid state relay module.
