to exit the terminal window.
The ADCP is now set for the new baud rate. (The baud rate will stay at these settings until you
changed back with the CB-command.)
Configuring a Secondary Instrument: Com 2, Baud Rate of 4800 Kbps
The baud rate of your GPS, echosounder, or other secondary device must match the Com 2 baud
rate. When you are setting an instrument’s baud rate you are setting its RS232 data rate.
Note:
If
using an Oceanscience supplied instrument, the baud rate has been pre-set to the correct rate.
When instrument set up is complete, install both instruments on the Riverboat (see the separate
Riverboat Assembly Instructions for basic Riverboat assembly).
Remote Transceiver Setup
The ADCP is now ready to communicate
with the laptop through the HydroLink
transceivers. Use the following procedure to
install the transceiver, GPS unit, and battery
in the Riverboat electronics compartment.
Please note
: Figure 1 shows the electronics
compartment cabling. All wires are pinned
to the hatch collar with tape, which will
make installation easier. Starting at upper
left and proceeding clockwise around the
rim: red power wire (with in-line fuse,) GPS
antenna cable, black power wire, ADCP data
cable, and transceiver antenna cable at the
bottom of the picture. Additionally, note the
single loose data jumper cable (Fig. 2.).
Connect the cables
Important! Data connectors
(total of three)
are keyed and will only attach when
oriented correctly.
Do not force these
connectors.
Begin by placing the Trimble GPS unit on
end inside the hatch (Fig. 3.)
Connect the
data jumper cable to the combination
Power/Data port on the GPS. Connect
the GPS antenna cable to the GPS unit.
