Step 7—SonarMite settings
The next few pages describe several output data formats
as well as how to change them and change the sound
velocity.
7a. Place transducer in water, such as a small bucket.
7b. Insert transducer connector to SonarMite control
box. Look for blinking red light.
7c. Connect to terminal program:
7c1. SENA BITERM via Bluetooth:
http://seafloorsystems.com/pdf/sena_bterm.pdf
7c2. WCOM32 Bluetooth or serial to laptop.
(Software is included on SonarMite CD ROM)
7d. View streaming data:
Control-F: cycles through the output formats below
Control-S: saves the output format
Control-R: resets the system to default output (the
unit MUST be in system format for
this to work.)
7d1. Format Old SonarMite
(example below)
1 0.48 0 0 0 8.9 115 0
1 0.48 0 0 0 8.9 115 0
1 0.48 0 0 0 17.8 116 0
1 0.48 0 0 0 8.9 115 0
1 0.48 0 0 0 8.9 115 0
“Old SonarMite” format is the defaul format used by
Trimble, Carlson, SM Mobile and HYPACK.
0.48 represents the depth.
8.9 represents the volts output of the internal
battery.
115 represents the sounding return quality number
from 70 to 135.
7d2. Format ASCII mode
(example below)
0.48
0.48
0.48
0.48
0.48
0.48
0.48
ASCII mode is mainly for Leica users;
0.48 represents the depth.
7d3. Format 2 DBT NMEA mode
(example below)
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
$SMDBT,1.6,f,0.48M,,#5C
This is a standard NMEA output which can be
used with various logging software.
7d4. Format 4 Odom SBT mode
(example below)
