system. The sensor may or may not need to be configured. The

box starts a "wizard" that permits you to select the specific catch monitoring sensor
you want to put to use. If relevant, the "wizard" provides the necessary configuration
functionality.

To open the
Add New Sensor
dialog box, select
Add New Sensor
at the bottom of the

page in the

Description
Catch monitoring sensors are delivered
from Kongsberg Maritime readily set
up with common default settings. Each
individual sensor can be configured
to specify its communication channel,
which measurements to make and some
other relevant operating parameters.
This is specially important if you wish
to use several sensors to operate on
different communication channels. This
is also important to avoid interference if
several vessels equipped with identical
catch monitoring systems are operating
simultaneously in the same area.
Sensor configuration is normally
performed by authorized Kongsberg
Maritime AS technicians. However, individual with basic computer skills and access to
the necessary equipment should not find it difficult. You need a special interface unit or
cable to do the configuration task yourself.
Note
The TV80 program only allows you to configure PX sensors. If you wish to use older
sensors (not PX family), these must be configured using their dedicated applications
before you add them.
The
Add New Sensor
dialog box starts a "wizard" to add a new catch monitoring sensor to
your TV80 system. Depending on your initial choice, different routes are presented. In
the first dialog box, the following options are provided.
