VUE Communication
The VR2AR uses either
Bluetooth
or acoustic communication, depending on
the nature of the communication.
Bluetooth
communication occurs in air
between the VR2AR and VUE software. It is with VUE that a study is
initialized and data is offloaded. Acoustic communication occurs through water
while the VR2AR is deployed and requires a VR100-200 receiver with a
transponding hydrophone attached. The detailed instructions for using a
VR100-200 with a receiver are located in the VR100-200 Transponding
manual. This section details how to communicate with the VR2AR using VUE
software and a
Bluetooth
connection.
3.1
Installing the VUE software
VUE software is used to communicate with the VR2AR receiver, allowing studies to be setup and data to be
offloaded. The software requires either Windows VISTA, Windows 7, 8, or 10.
NOTE:
A
Bluetooth
USB adapter is required for operation with the VR2AR receivers because they use
Bluetooth
communication. See section 3.2 for details.
NOTE:
Due to
Bluetooth
characteristics
in water, the VR2AR must
communicate with the
Bluetooth
USB adapter
through air
(typical range is 10 meters).
