Configuring the sensor interface
With several sensors connected to the ES80, many of them will provide the same
datagrams. We cannot expect that the datagrams provide the same information. The
Sensor
Configuration
page allows you to define a datagram priority, so that the information from
the "most reliable" sensor is used by the ES80. You can also define manual values in case
a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• The new sensor is physically connected to the ES80 using a serial or network cable.
• The interface port is set up with the correct communication parameters.
• The navigation sensor is installed into the ES80 software. The relevant interface
parameters and physical location properties are defined.
Context
Any information in a datagram, for example the current depth, may be provided in different
datagrams from several sensors. Due to a number of reasons (environmental conditions,
installation, configuration, accuracy, etc.), the numerical values provided can be different
from one sensor to another.
Several sensor are provided on the
Sensor Configuration
page, one for each type of
information. Select the sensor you wish to configure in the
Sensor
list. For each type, you
can define a priority sensor by rearranging the datagrams in a list. You can also define
manual values in case a sensor is unserviceable, or not installed.
The ES80 can communicate with several different sensor types. Use the
Sensor Installation
page to define which external sensors your ES80 will import information from. You must
also specify which datagram formats to use.
