This is the interface port currently used to transmit or receive synchronization signals.
It must be an RS-232 serial port. Since the synchronization function only uses the
Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) signals on a serial port, you may be
able to use a port that is already assigned other interface purposes. For the same reason,
you do not need to define any baud rate.

Setting up input from buoys, fish aggregating devices and
other external objects
Position information from external objects such as buoys, fish aggregating devices and other
similar items can be imported into the ST90 system.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• A suitable receiver system must be available.
• 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 ST90 system is turned on and operates normally.
Context
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your ST90 system 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 ST90 system. For
each relevant sensor you must insert the offset values that define the its physical location
relative to the vessel’s coordinate system.
