• The new sensor is physically connected to the ST90 system using a serial or network
cable.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The input from the navigation sensor is defined in the user interface. The relevant
interface parameters and physical location properties for the sensor are defined.
Context
Any information in a datagram, for example the current depth, may be provided in different
datagrams from several sensors. Due to a number of reasons (environmental conditions,
installation, configuration, accuracy, etc.), the numerical values provided can be different
from one sensor to another.
Several sensor are provided on the
Sensor Configuration
page, one for each type of
information. Select the sensor you wish to configure in the
Sensor
list. For each type, you
can define a priority sensor by rearranging the datagrams in a list. You can also define
manual values in case a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
The ST90 system can communicate with several different sensor types. Use the
Sensor
Installation
page to define which external sensors your ST90 system will import information
from. You must also specify which datagram formats to use.
