The
Compass/Tilt
is a standard sensor in the RDCP
600.
In the
Source Page
you can read the magnetic
correction and select the Compass/Tilt Source as
either:
Use Internal Compass
Use Compass connected to CANbus
Use fixed heading, pitch and roll
NOTE! Open the Internal tab to set the magnetic
misalignment.
Check the
Use Internal Compass
to use the
standard RDCP Compass/Tilt Sensor.
Check the
Use fixed heading, pitch and roll
to use
fixed values for these parameters instead of
measured values. This feature is very useful if the
instrument is deployed a fixed bottom frame
mooring in highly magnetic areas. The fixed values
are set in the
Fixed
tab, refer Figure 1-30.
The use of an external Compass/Tilt sensor with
CANbus is not yet available.
In the
Internal Page
you can find the serial number
of the standard Compass/Tilt sensor, set the
compass misalignment, and perform a test of the
Compass/Tilt sensor.
In the
Fixed page
, insert fixed values for Heading,
Pitch and Roll. Fixed values will be used if the
option
Use fixed heading, pitch and roll
is checked
in the menu above, refer to Figure 1-29.
The Sensor Configuration for the
Temperature
Sensor
and the
Conductivity Sensor
is very similar
and is illustrated with the conductivity sensor only.
NOTE! The sensor must be installed for the menu
to be active.
