5.6. Offline Mode
If for some reason when the software is started it cannot initialise communications with the
Sonar (for example if another instance of the software already running) the following warning
will be displayed:
The software will then open with a cut down user interface which will allow the replay of data
which have already been recorded, but all the controls associated with the Gemini Sonar
will be removed.
Those controls which are present work in exactly the same way as if communications with
the Gemini Sonar was possible, and as described earlier in this manual.
5.7. Automatic Online
Once the Gemini Sonar and the Gemini software have been configured so that they can
communicate successfully, when the Gemini software is started it will automatically start
imaging as soon as it detects the presence of that Sonar. This allows unattended start up
of the Gemini software and system.
This functionality can be disabled by adding the command line switch
/noautoonline
to
the command which starts the Gemini software.
5.8. Settings Files
The Gemini software stores all the settings in the file
C:\GeminiData\Settings
\Gemini.xml
. A backup of this file can be kept as a record of all the Gemini settings. When
contacting
Tritech International Ltd
Technical Support it may be necessary to supply a copy
of this file.
The Gemini software keeps a historical log of settings files in the folder
C:\GeminiData
\Settings
, with folder and file names automatically generated from the date and time. This
can be useful for restoration of previously known good settings. To use a previous settings
file:
1. Shut down the Gemini software.
2. Delete (or rename) the
C:\GeminiData\Settings\Gemini.xml
file.
3. Copy the historical settings (*.xml) file into the location
C:\GeminiData\Settings
and
rename it to
Gemini.xml
4. Start the Gemini software.
A factory settings file is stored in the install folder (normally
C:\Program Files\Tritech
\Gemini\Factory.xml
). To revert completely to the factory settings file:
