For the SN90 to use and offer correct navigational information, one or more external
sensors must be connected. Typical sensors are those that provide speed, heading and
geographical position. To select which sensors to install, use the
Sensor Installation
page. Your current position is shown on the top bar if you have enabled this in the
Display Options
dialog box.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The SN90 system is turned on and operates normally.
• The new sensor is physically connected to the SN90 using a serial or network cable.
It is switched on and in normal operation.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Context
The
Sensor Installation
page allows your SN90 to communicate with external sensors
and systems. You must specify which communication port to use (LAN (Local Area
Network) or serial port). You can type a custom name to identify the sensor import. In
the list of valid datagram formats, select the format(s) to be accepted by the SN90. Once
a sensor has been chosen, you must select the offset values that define the sensor’s
physical location relative to your vessel’s coordinate system.
Note
Just making changes and selecting
OK
at the bottom of the page will not install anything.
Select what to install, define the relevant parameters, and then select
Add
