Disconnecting transceiver channels
A WBT Mini transceiver channel can be disconnected from the EK80 PC. This is typically
useful if the transceiver is meant to be used by another PC on another echo sounder system.
It is also useful if you have a large number of channels and want to reduce the number
of echogram views in your presentation.
Context
The
Transceiver Installation
parameters control the installation and disconnection of
transceivers. Every time the page is opened, the EK80 software automatically performs a
search on the Ethernet network for transceivers.
The list in the upper part on the
Transceiver Installation
page shows you an overview of the
transceivers and channels that are currently available. In this context, the phrase channel is
used as a common term to identify the combination of transceiver, transducer and operating
frequency. Each channel is identified by the transceiver type and serial number and the
transducer(s) in use. The current status for each channel is also provided.
•
Busy
: The channel is already in use, probably by another echo sounder on the same
network. You cannot connect to this channel.
•

•
Lost
