Adding a new sensor that must be configured prior to use
When you want to put a new catch monitoring sensor to use, you need to add it to the
system. The sensor may or may not need to be configured.
Prerequisites
In order to read catch monitoring sensor data, you must first connect one or more receiver
units to the Processor Unit. Each of these receivers can read the information transmitted by
the sensors placed on your gear.
This procedure assumes that a suitable receiver unit has been connected to the Processor
Unit, and that all relevant communication parameters have been defined.
If configuration is required, the new sensor must be connected to the Processor Unit with a
dedicated interface unit or cable.
Context
Catch monitoring sensors are delivered from Kongsberg Maritime AS readily set up with
common default settings. When required, each individual sensor may be configured to
specify its communication channel and which measurements to make. This is specially
important if you wish to use several sensors to operate on different communication channels.
This is also important to avoid interference if several vessels equipped with identical catch
monitoring systems are operating simultaneously in the same area.
The
Add New Sensor
dialog box starts a "wizard" that permits you to select the specific catch
monitoring sensor you want to put to use. If necessary, the "wizard" provides the necessary
configuration functionality.
Note
The TV80only allows you to configure PX sensors. If you wish to use older sensors (not PX
family), these must be configured using their dedicated applications before you add them.
The number of sensors you can add depends on your hardware configuration.
