Diagnostics dialog box
The ST90 system is a computerized sonar. There are hardly any analogue circuitry, and
the possibility of traditional troubleshooting is limited. In order to rectify this, a built-in
software application is available to offer test and maintenance functionality. The
Diagnostics
dialog box controls the test and diagnose application that checks the performance of the
ST90 system.
How to open
This dialog box is opened from the
Setup
menu.
Description
By means of the
Diagnostics
functionality, you can easily determine if the hardware
components in the ST90 system are operational. And most important, you can make sure
that all the transceivers channels and transducer elements are functional. To open the
different pages in the dialog box, use the large "buttons" on the left hand side.
Each button provides a small colour coded indicator.
•
No indicator
: Status is OK. No actions are necessary.
•
Yellow
: This is a warning. A closer investigation is recommended.
•
Red

•

Note
The
Diagnostics
dialog box and functionality is only provided for performance monitoring.
The functionality offered by the dialog box is not required for normal use of the ST90 system.
The dialog box does not permit you to change any operational settings.
The
Diagnostics
dialog box offers several pages. The pages in the dialog box are described in
a separate structure.
