Installing navigation sensors and other sensors
For the ST90 system to use and offer correct navigational information, one or more external
sensors must be connected. Typical sensors are those providing navigational information
(heading, speed or geographical position). To set up the communication parameters on the
serial and LAN ports, use the
I/O Setup
page. To select which sensors to install, use the
Sensor Installation
page. The
Sensor Configuration
page allows you to define a datagram
priority, so that the information from the "most reliable" sensor is used by the ST90 system.
You can also define manual values in case a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
Prerequisites
The new sensor is physically connected to the ST90 system using a serial or network cable.
Context
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your ST90 system to communicate with external sensors
and systems. However, in order to communicate with each sensor, you must first set up the
relevant communication parameters. Once the communication has been established and the
sensor is connected, you must define the datagram priority and finalize the configuration.
Note
Just making changes and selecting
OK
at the bottom of the page will not install anything.
Select what to install, define the relevant parameters, and then select
