Note
You cannot make any changes here. To change the communication parameters, use
the
I/O Setup
page.

select
Monitor
.
The
Port Monitor
dialog box provides one text box for incoming messages (
Rx Data
),
and one for outgoing messages (
Tx Data
). Use these boxes and your knowledge of the
data communication to investigate the datagrams. The
Port Monitor
dialog box is a
tool for debugging purposes. It is neither required nor intended for normal operation of
the MF90 system.
9 Type a custom name to identify the interface in other dialog boxes.
10 Select which datagram(s) you want to import from the sensor.
11 If relevant, specify a dedicated talker ID.
12 Provide the accurate physical location of the sensor (or its antenna) with reference to
the vessel’s coordinate system.
The position of certain sensors must be defined as an offset to the Ship Origin in the
coordinate system to maximize performance. These offset values are all required to
allow the MF90 system to give you as accurate information as possible. The degree
of accuracy offered by the MF90 system is directly related to the accuracy of the
information you enter on the
Sensor Installation
page.
a Select the offset value on the X axis (fore-and-aft direction) from the Ship Origin .
Adjust with a positive value for X if the sensor is located ahead of the ship origin.
b Select the offset value on the Y axis (athwartship) from the Ship Origin . Adjust
with a positive value for Y if the sensor is located on the starboard side of the
ship origin.
c Select the offset value on the Z axis (vertical) from the Ship Origin . Adjust with a
positive value for Z if the sensor is located under the ship origin.
13 Select
Add
to save the new sensor interface you have defined.
The sensor interface is added to the
Installed Sensors
list on the
Sensor Installation
page.
14 At the bottom of the dialog box, select
Apply
to save your settings.
15 Continue your work in the
Installation
dialog box, or select
OK
to close it.
