Exporting sensor data to a peripheral system
The information provided to the ST90 system from various sensors can also be useful for
other systems on board. The ST90 system allows you to export the same sensor data that
was originally imported. This can "reuse" the same information on other systems. The
Relay
Output
page is used to set up and control this export functionality.
Prerequisites
A compatible instrument is connected to the ST90 system. You have a vacant interface
port on your Processor Unit. The interface port is set up with the correct communication
parameters.
