SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Figure 2 The Workstation and the Synchronizing Unit
The Workstation and the Synchronizing Unit are interfaced via a network connection.
The Synchronizing Unit can also receive depth data from echo sounders and other
external sources. Depth is transmitted as datagrams (via UDP) directly to the
Synchronizing Unit. A network switch is required if external depth is supplied.
Signal Interface
The Synchronizing Unit controls pinging and receives status from the echo sounders
via the signal interface. A trigger output is provided for each echo sounder as well as
inputs for receiving feedback signals from echo sounders. See figure
The Synchronizing
Unit on page 10.
The Synchronizing unit provides one output and two inputs for each echo sounder:
• Trigger signal (output): tells the echo sounder when to transmit.
• Ready to transmit signal (input): communicates when the echo sounder is ready
for next trigger.
• Transmitting signal (input): tells the Synchronizing Unit when the echo sounder
has started transmitting.
