Version 3
4.4 I/O Module Configuration
The I/O Module Setup tab is the primary means of configuring data flow into the SeaBat
from RS-232 devices attached to the system (such as SVP and/or clock). Configuration
through this interface sets up the I/O module installed on the processor. The data
acquired by the I/O module is routed to the SeaBat in real time to allow for accurate time
stamping and beamforming.
For instructions on how to monitor the I/O module devices, see
section 4.4.3 below.
For instructions on how to install the I/O module devices, see a

Figure 5: Sample of I/O Module Setup Tab
Device List: This frame displays the current list of devices.
New: Create a new I/O device.
Edit: Edit an existing I/O device.
Remove: Delete an I/O device from the list.
QC: Launch the 7k external I/O monitor window (if the I/O Module is running).
Device Status Display: Shows the status of the corresponding device in the
Device List frame.
Clear Status Display: Clears and resets the status display.
NOTE
Accuracy of the bathymetric data depends entirely on valid time sync and SVP input
from this module, unless another solution such as PDS2000 is being used to perform
this function.
In the absence of time sync, a software time stamp is employed. However, this usually
results in poor data quality, as the time stamp is applied AFTER the last sample is
received.
In the absence of online SVP input, the input from the Ocean Menu tab (see section
5.7.3.3 Set the Sound Velocity ) is used instead.
