2-System Assembly and Startup
pulseEKKO PRO
24
The pulseEKKO PRO is designed to work with a number of different odometers. This includes the Big
Wheel Odometer (See Figure 2-23 on page 17), the SmartCart odometer (Figure 2-32 below) as well as
vehicle odometers available from Sensors & Software.
The odometer has an electrical connection to receptacle 1 on the control module (Figure 2-32).
Figure 2-32: The pulseEKKO PRO accepts input from various odometers including the wheel odometer shown in the figure,
which is typically used with the SmartCart. Odometers attach to receptacle 1 on the control module.
When the radar system is run with the Trigger Method set to Odometer (Section 3.3.1.2: P43), data
acquisition is controlled by the odometer.
2.5.5 GPS
The DVL has a serial port on the back for attaching a GPS receiver. This port will accommodate any GPS
receiver that has a standard NMEA string output through the serial port.
The DVL settings will need to be changed to accommodate the input of GPS data (Section 3.3.4: P44).
