Data Source
The Data Source is accessed from the Operation menu.
Purpose
This dialogue box is used to select where the echo sounder
program shall obtain its data from. It can be used to connect to
an echo sounder program running on a remote computer. This
means that any computer on the network running the ER60
software can connect to the echo sounder computer and run the
sounder independently.
Use
The dialogue displays a list of echo sounder programs running
on the network to which the ER60 Processor Unit is connected.
If the Processor Unit is not connected to other echo sounder
programs, the list will only contain one entry. This single entry
is the echo sounder program running on the local processor unit.
You will not be able to perform installation operations (e.g.
transceiver and sensor installation) on other entries than the
local echo sounder program.
To perform operations on an entry in the list, the entry must be
highlighted (selected). To do this, click once the entry.
Parameters
Name - This column displays the installation name of the echo
sounder program entry. An asterisk (*) in front of an entry
means that this entry is currently selected data source. Only one
entry can be selected at a time. The installation name is defined
in the
Remoting dialogue.
Description - This column displays a short description of this
program. The description is defined in the Remoting dialogue.
