Ping Rate
The Ping rate can be set to either Maximum , Single step , or
Interval .
Maximum - Select this mode to set the echo sounder to transmit
pings as often as possible. In normal operation the ping rate will
typically be limited by the time it takes for the sound to travel to
the range requested by the user and back. Use the
Max ping
range parameter displayed in the Numerical view for display of
this range. For short data collection ranges in normal operation,
the ping rate will be limited by the transceiver’s need to
recharge before a new ping can be transmitted. During replay
operation the maximum ping rate will mainly be limited by the
computer’s processing capacity.
Single step - Select this mode to transmit only a single ping
each time the Single step button is clicked.
Interval - Select this mode to set the echo sounder to transmit a
ping once every set time. If the system is not ready to transmit a
ping due to the limitations described for
Maximum ping rate,
this ping will not be transmitted. Use the spin box to set the time
interval in seconds.
Triggering
The echo sounder can be set up to either supply trigger to a
remote system, or be triggered by external instruments. Note
that triggering is only available in the
Normal ping mode.
Ingoing - Check this box to be triggered by an external
instrument. The ping transmission will be delayed until a pulse
is detected at the source. Select the source using the list box.
Outgoing - Check this box to generate an output signal at the
selected source each time a ping is transmitted. Use the list box
to select the output where the trigger signal will appear.
