Setting up a serial or LAN (Ethernet) port for annotation
input
Several different annotation types may be added to the echograms or other views.
They are displayed on the views if this annotation feature is enabled. You can add
annotations manually, or import information as datagrams using a serial or LAN
(Ethernet) communication port.
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.
Context
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your EK80 to communicate with external sensors
and systems. You must specify which communication port to use (LAN (Local Area
Network) or serial port). You can type a custom name to identify the sensor import. In
the list of valid datagram formats, select the format(s) to be accepted by the EK80.
