This will bring up a setup dialog which will allow the communication protocols
for the different ports to be altered. Make sure that the ports match the settings
used by the profiler and click
OK
. After a short delay the node table will be
rebuilt. If the Profiler is still not present it may be necessary to change the
Baud rate of the port.
Figure 4.3. Communication Mode Selection on a SeaHub
To change the Baud rate go to the
Utilities
menu and click on
Com Setup
which will bring up the
Channel Setup
dialog. From within this dialog select
find the row that corresponds to the port which is being used and click on the
button in the
Settings
column. A dialog will appear showing the available
Baud rates.
4.2.4. Re-Programming Nodes
In some cases it may be necessary to update the software program installed
within a Profiler or to change its node number. This may be the case
particularly when subsea sensors are introduced from another system, hired
or taken from a spares pool.
After the node table is rebuilt in Seanet Setup, the
Status
column of
each node should appear as status
OK
. This will confirm that whatever is
programmed into that node is at the same software version as that contained
in the Seanet Pro program that is loaded onto the computer. If the Status box
appears with status
Update
, then it means that the node will need to be re-
programmed to match the software version of the current version of Seanet
Pro.
!
Caution
Only re-program nodes over short lengths of test cable (1m lengths
are available from
Tritech International Ltd
if not already supplied
with the Profiler at time of purchase). Longer cables increase the
risk of the data becoming corrupted in transit and could result in the
sonar head becoming unusable after the update.
