ports and tick the ‘Connect’ checkbox to establish a connection with the

Connect checkbox ticked
The 7K system which enables the connection becomes the ‘Master’ and
the other system automatically becomes the ‘Slave’.
When the system is in
‘Slave’ mode then the Tracker button is disabled.
The master and slave X, Z offset must be entered with respect to the
vessel reference point.
In normal mode the heads ping in turn (ping-pong mode). The maximum
ping rate is half of a single head system.
Optionally the heads can ping simultaneously at a high ping rate. This is
the Full Rate Dual Head mode (FRDH). In FRDH mode the ‘Master’
system trigger the ‘Slave’ system. For this purpose a trigger cable is
connected between both systems. This cable is connected between the
Master system Trigger Out port and the Slave system Trigger In port.
It is possible to run 2 Sonar
UI’s on the same (‘Master’) system. The
second Sonar UI that is started will be automatically the Sonar UI for the
‘Slave’. In the second Sonar UI the ‘Slave’ system can be controlled
(accept the Range and Max Rate) and the IO Module
for the ‘Slave’
system can be setup or modified.
The 7KCentre should run on the ‘Slave’
before data becomes visible in the second Sonar UI.
When the SUI runs on the
‘Master’ system then both sonar wedges
(master and slave) can be monitored in the Wedge screen (see page 69).
