Selecting which Operating Panel to use

The Operating Panel offers all necessary control functions for normal operation.

Context

The controls provided by the Operating Panel are arranged in logical functional groups. This
offers you clear and easy operation with fast access to key functionality. All the functionality
provided by the CS90 system can be accessed using the trackball on the Operating Panel and
the menu system shown in the display presentation.

The CS90 system supports three different operating panels. These are referred to as "Mk1",
"Mk2" and "Mk3".

• The Mk1 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit with three cables. The dual

interface cable provides power and serial communication. The USB interface cable is
used to read the trackball movements. The Processor Unit must be fitted with a custom
made interface board. A small commercial power supply is used to provide power to the
Operating Panel. (The Mk1 Operating Panel is no longer provided with new sonars. This
information is provided for legacy reasons.)

• The Mk2 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit using an Ethernet cable.

The Operating Panel is provided with a built-in power supply.

• The Mk3 Operating Panel is connected to the Processor Unit with a USB cable. A

dedicated power supply unit is not required.

To select which operating panel to use, open the

Operating Panel

page in the
