Slave mode is used if the EK80 is going to transmit only when permitted by a
peripheral system. When Slave mode is selected, the EK80 does not transmit
("ping") unless an external trigger appears on the chosen synchronization port.
The peripheral system may be any other hydroacoustic product (for example an
echo sounder or sonar), or even a dedicated synchronization system.
7 Select
Synchronization Delay
.
This delay parameter is used differently depending on the chosen synchronization
mode.
• Stand-alone
The
Synchronization Delay
setting is not applicable when synchronization is
switched off.
• Master
In Master mode, the EK80 waits for the delay time after the external trigger
signal has been sent to the slaves before transmitting the ping. This is often
referred to as a
pre-trigger .
Note
This delay will only work when the synchronization is set up using a serial port.
• Slave
In Slave mode, the EK80 waits for the delay time after the external trigger signal
has arrived before transmitting the ping. This is often referred to as a post-trigger .
8 From the list of ports available, select
Synchronization Port
.
This is the interface port currently used to transmit or receive synchronization
signals. It must be an RS-232 serial port. Since the synchronization function only
uses the
Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) signals on a serial port,
you can use a port that is already used for other purposes. For the same reason,
you do not need to define any baud rate.
