Verifying SC90 operation by means of the BITE functionality
The purpose of the
BITE
(Built-In Test Equipment) dialog box and utility is to allow
on-line test and verification of the individual elements in the transducer. It allows you to
see if the transducer elements are operational during transmission and reception. The
B-Scan
page allows you to monitor the time series of data that is received from each
of the elements in the SC90 transducer. The start sample and the number of samples
to be displayed are adjustable.
Prerequisites
The SC90 is installed as specified in this manual.
• The SC90 is turned on, and it is working normally.
• The SC90 is in Normal mode, but
TX Power
is set to Off to prevent transmission.
• The transducer is retracted to its upper position.
• The vessel is berthed or at sea.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Caution
You must never set the SC90 to "ping" unless the transducer is submerged in water.
The transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air.
Context
By means of the
BITE
(Built-In Test Equipment) functionality, you can easily determine
if the SC90 hardware is operational. The
BITE
(Built-In Test Equipment) dialog box
offers these pages.
•
Matrix
The
Matrix
page allows you to monitor the average signal values or signal phases
from each of the channels and transducer elements in the SC90. The presentation is
provided on a matrix corresponding to the element locations in the transducer.
