9 Select which datagram(s) you want to import from the peripheral device.
When you select sensor type Annotation, only one datagram can be selected.
10 Do not specify a dedicated Talker ID.
11 Select
Add
to save the new device interface you have defined.
The device interface is added to the
Installed Sensors
list on the
Sensor Installation
page. It is not necessary to use the
Sensor Configuration
page to set up a priority list.

Connecting a catch monitoring system to a serial or LAN
(Ethernet) port
A catch monitoring system can be connected to the EK80. The connection is made using
a serial or LAN (Ethernet) port on the Processor Unit. For any sensor interface to work,
the communication parameters must be set up correctly.
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
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. For
each relevant sensor you must insert the offset values that define the its physical location
relative to the vessel’s coordinate system.
