Section 7

Check the transponder returns data by populating the General Status screen. This test
checks the basic operation of the microprocessor and associated crystals.

NOTE

If the depth sensor is enabled, then occasionally the comms may drop out. To clear go

to Setup, Serial port settings and increase the Serial Communications Wait and Delay
between commands timings to 2 and 2.5 seconds

7.2

Transponder Test

Use the following procedure to test the Transponder.

Connect the ANT TDR output to the transducer end cap using the Test Transducer (or
coupling loop).

Programme the ANT in accordance with

Enter channel number 21 (HII21) to select the HPR400 channel.

The ANT will generate the two-pulse interrogation used in the HPR400 Scheme.

NOTE

Some features of the WSM Terminal are only applicable to older units and are therefore

greyed out or absent when a WSM is detected.

The program is stored on a CD labelled “WSM Utilities” supplied with the unit, or can be
downloaded from the Sonardyne Int Ltd website: -

www.sonardyne.com

Using the software implies acceptance of Sonardyne’s standard software licence agreement. A
copy is included at the end of this section.

The program will run under Windows 95 or later. This description applies to WSM Terminal
